He also noted that the implementation of the proposal will proceed smoothly provided there is agreement from the United States. In an interview with CBS News, broadcast by the Iranian news agency Irna, the Iranian president confirmed that there was “coordination with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei,” who holds the final say in the decisions of the Islamic Republic.
He added that if the United States accepts the Iranian proposal and fulfills its commitments, Iran will act accordingly, eliminating any obstacles to the agreement’s implementation.
Iran Established a Committee for US Negotiations Masoud Pezeshkian further revealed the creation of a six-member committee. This group includes representatives from various institutions and bodies, including the armed forces, parliament, and government. As the Iranian leader clarified, having just concluded a round of diplomatic contacts in New York for the UN General Assembly, this committee holds meetings to examine critical issues and possesses the authority to make final decisions.
In this light, the head of Iranian diplomacy, Abbas Araghchi, presented this new proposal regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to the United States.
As an official stance from the American side is awaited, the Wall Street Journal, citing sources among American officials, reported that US President Donald Trump has already rejected the specific proposal.
