Iran FM says talks with mediators continue on implementing ‘7-day plan’

Oct 28, 2026 13:32 ET · 57m ago

TREE NEWS update: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on the 28th that Tehran will keep working closely with mediators to explore how to implement its proposed “7-day plan” within less than a week and secure a diplomatic outcome, while stressing Iran’s armed forces are fully prepared to defend the country. On Sept. 22, U.S. special envoy Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Kushner held indirect talks with Araghchi through Qatari mediation on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, where Iran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restarting nuclear talks within seven days if Washington lifts its naval blockade, removes oil-sales sanctions and restores a regional ceasefire.

The significance here is that Tehran is publicly keeping a diplomatic track alive while pairing it with a readiness message, a dual-signal posture that keeps the proposal on the table without committing to it. The parties most exposed are those tied to Strait of Hormuz transit and Iranian oil flows, since the plan's core is a sanctions-and-blockade trade rather than a technical nuclear fix. What is worth watching is whether mediators convert the proposal into a concrete sequence of steps, and whether Washington engages with the conditions as stated. That gap between a stated plan and an implemented one remains the open question.
