Iran: Maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz may return to normal within 7 days
Iranian proposal
Iran said it conveyed a seven-day plan through Qatar and argued that maritime traffic could normalize within a week if the necessary conditions were fulfilled. The proposal places responsibility for the next decision on the United States. [4]
Uncertain feasibility
The statement offers the most optimistic public timeline identified in the latest coverage. However, it does not establish that shipping companies, insurers, and naval authorities are prepared to resume ordinary operations on that schedule. [4]
Key test
The gap between Iran’s proposed timetable and market-based expectations illustrates the central uncertainty: political agreement may come before commercial confidence. A durable recovery would likely require sustained calm and evidence that vessels can transit safely. [2][3][4]
