Iran's seven-day Hormuz plan meets US scepticism as blockade enforcement continues

After Iran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the timeline could start as soon as the US accepts. US Central Command said it redirected 122 commercial vessels to ensure compliance with the blockade. Atlantic Council Senior Fellow Thomas Warrick said the plan is unlikely to resolve deep mistrust, citing Washington's scepticism after Iranian Revolutionary Guards Generals attacked strait shipping weeks after a June deal favourable to Iran.
