Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has offered a conditional seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to maritime navigation, contingent on formal US acceptance of Tehran's outlined terms. This diplomatic move, reported by multiple sources including Reuters and Bsky analysts, marks a significant de-escalation from the previous "annihilation" rhetoric and offers a potential off-ramp for the ongoing crisis. However, shipping traffic data confirms that traffic remains well below recent averages, and the proposal's success depends on complex multilateral negotiations and UN Security Council sessions, leaving the market in a state of cautious optimism rather than full relief.
