Iran’s president says supreme leader backs new plan to reopen Hormuz

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Tehran has developed a new strategy to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to maritime navigation. According to Pezeshkian, the initiative has received the endorsement of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and was coordinated through diplomatic channels, specifically via Qatar, in communications with the United States. The proposal outlines a timeline to restore full navigation within seven days of a formal agreement between the two nations.

In addition to the proposal, the Iranian president indicated that the Islamic Republic intends to fulfill its international obligations regarding the strategic waterway. The announcement follows ongoing regional tensions surrounding the transit route, which serves as a critical artery for global energy supplies.
