Iran Presents US With Ceasefire Roadmap Including 60-Day Regional Truce and Phased Hormuz Reopening

Iran presented the United States with a roadmap to end their conflict, proposing a regionwide ceasefire of up to 60 days, a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, according to regional sources briefed on the proposal 123. The plan followed Tuesday talks in New York, mediated by Qatar, Pakistan, and Egypt, that opened with a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner 12. Iranian officials have said Hormuz could reopen within seven days if Washington meets Tehran's conditions, while President Trump has ruled out lifting the blockade before Iran shows what US officials describe as sufficient goodwill 23. Witkoff called the talks "constructive" and said mediators would continue their work; no agreement has been announced and both sides remain divided on sequencing 13. Semafor reported the proposal echoes the two countries' June agreement, and separately cited a Wall Street Journal report that China has sent Iran roughly 1,300 shipments of dual-use components for drones and missile guidance systems 4.
