Iran Submits Seven-Day Roadmap to Reopen Hormuz; Pezeshkian Says Tehran Would Allow UN Inspectors

September 25, 2026 — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters outside the UN Security Council that Tehran had formally submitted a seven-day roadmap to end the war: Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear negotiations within a week if the US lifts its naval blockade, unfreezes a portion of Iranian assets, and eases sanctions on oil exports within the first four to five days. Separately, President Masoud Pezeshkian told CBS News the same day that Iran would allow UN nuclear inspectors back into the country as part of a potential long-term ceasefire arrangement, answering 'that is absolutely correct' when asked directly. The dual-track proposal follows the Sep 22-23 New York meeting between Araghchi and US envoys Witkoff and Kushner. The White House had not formally responded as of Sep 25.
