Iran Receives U.S. Counterproposal to 7-Day Ceasefire and Hormuz Reopening Plan

Summary
Iranian officials said Washington has formally answered Tehran’s proposal for a seven-day ceasefire and phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the government is now reviewing the counteroffer.
The exchange follows days of indirect contacts after Iran sent its plan through intermediaries; the main dispute had centered on sequencing, even after President Trump publicly rejected Tehran’s proposal.
Talks remain overshadowed by hard-line messaging from Tehran: the Revolutionary Guard said the war will end only if the U.S. admits defeat and leaves the region, while Iran’s military urged Americans to protest Trump.
Pressure around Hormuz is still acute, with the U.K. naval agency reporting 3 tankers were struck by unknown projectiles Tuesday, though Kpler said Gulf crude and fuel exports have recovered to about 21.8 million barrels a day versus 23.3 million before the war.
