Iran reopens Strait of Hormuz
Discussing 7-day trust-building plan
In short
Iran discussed a "7-day plan" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with mediating countries.
Iran's Foreign Minister said they are also considering ways to implement this plan in a shorter timeframe.
However, he drew a line, saying Iran cannot accept Qatar's newly proposed mediation plan.
