Talks Underway to Resume Shipping Through Strait of Hormuz After Trump Rejection
What happened
Tehran has presented Washington with a seven-day plan to resume commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal, which is based on the unimplemented Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding from June 17, requires official U.S. acceptance to begin the countdown. The plan stipulates that within the first five days, hostilities must cease on all fronts, including Lebanon, and the naval blockade must be lifted. Simultaneously, licenses for Iranian oil sales must be issued and frozen assets released.

Why it matters
The resumption of shipping relies on the lifting of the naval blockade and the issuance of oil sales licenses for Iran. The plan involves Iranian and Omani technical teams preparing the strait for reopening. Commercial shipping is scheduled to open on the sixth day, with negotiations regarding the war's aftermath beginning on the seventh day.
