Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi agreed overnight to a compromise proposal by Qatari and US mediators regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to two diplomats cited by N12. The report states that Araghchi's positive response was among the reasons President Donald Trump agreed to cancel the planned military strike on Iran.
According to a report by Barak Ravid (N12), citing two diplomats, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi agreed overnight to a compromise proposal by Qatari and US mediators regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The diplomats stated that Araghchi's positive response was among the reasons President Donald Trump agreed to cancel the planned military strike on Iran.
The report adds depth to the diplomatic chain of events that led to Trump's early Sunday announcement that a principled framework for a deal had been reached, including the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and a framework for removing the Iranian nuclear threat. As The Zioneer reported at 07:13, the President stated that Israel had joined the commitment.
The compromise proposal reportedly brokered by Qatar and the United States comes after weeks of heightened tensions over the strategic waterway, which the IRGC formally closed in June, as previously reported. The details of the arrangement remain unclear, and the report does not specify the terms of the compromise.
The development marks a significant step in the ongoing US-Iran diplomatic track, moving from kinetic exchanges in the Strait of Hormuz toward a mediated framework.
