BEIJING — Iran stated on Sunday that it will not back down on its conditions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's rejection of the seven-day plan proposed by Tehran to reopen the strategic maritime passage and end the war.

“Our conditions are clear and any move toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz is contingent on these conditions being met, on which we will not back down,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, as reported by the Tasnim news agency.

On Friday, the head of Iranian diplomacy put forward a seven-day plan to restore normal maritime transit through the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a series of measures, including an end to hostilities in the Middle East, the termination of the U.S. naval blockade against Iran, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil.

“They made a proposal, but I rejected it,” Trump reacted on Saturday in statements made to the press outside the White House, claiming that his country already has "total control" over Hormuz and that "massive amounts" of oil continue to flow through the waterway every day.

Despite Trump's statements, Araghchi said Iran expects to receive a formal response through mediators, referring to Qatar and Pakistan, considering that the American president “unfortunately makes too many contradictory statements.”

The Iranian minister announced the plan as a roadmap to implement the commitments outlined in the memorandum of understanding reached between Iran and the United States in June under Pakistani mediation.

However, that agreement was interrupted less than a month later when Trump terminated it following alleged Iranian attacks in early July against shipping and tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

The exchange of messages between both countries comes as the war launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran approaches its seventh month and remains in a stalemate, marked by intensified U.S. sanctions and occasional Iranian attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
