DUBAI, Oct 18 (Reuters) – Iran‘s offer to the Unit

DUBAI, Oct 18 (Reuters) – Iran‘s offer to the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days is still on the table, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Iranian media outlets on Sunday.

Iran presented its proposal in mid-September after an interim ceasefire collapsed. Tehran later acknowledged receiving a US response but Iran’s security chief said last week negotiations have stalled because Washington failed to address all seven conditions for reopening the strait.

“Our situation is clear and based on the seven-days proposal presented to the US. They shared comments which we are reviewing, but our proposal is still on the table and if there is any honesty on the US part, which there isn’t, the way to reopening the Strait of Hormuz is obvious,” Araqchi said while in Baghdad for a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

Iran‘s conditions include, among other demands, the lifting of the US blockade on its ports, the lifting of US sanctions on its oil exports as well as ending hostilities on all regional fronts.

If Washington accepts Tehran’s conditions, the strait could reopen within six days, with talks resuming the following day, Araqchi said.

A central point of disagreement has been Washington’s insistence on addressing Iran‘s nuclear program from the outset.

US Vice President JD Vance said earlier this month that Iran must make a “meaningful” reduction in its uranium enrichment capacity to satisfy US demands and end the countries’ eight-month war.

Tehran says negotiations should initially focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which before the war carried about a fifth of the global trade in oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG), and restoring security in the waterway.

DUBAI, Oct 18 (Reuters) – Iran‘s parliament approv

DUBAI, Oct 18 (Reuters) – Iran‘s parliament approved Mehrdad Akhlaqi Ketabchi as defense minister on Sunday, ending months of interim leadership at the ministry and placing a former defense sector veteran in charge of the country’s defense production and procurement apparatus.

Akhlaqi replaces Majid Ebn al-Reza, who took over in an interim capacity after then Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh was killed by US-Israeli strikes in February.

Akhlaqi has spent decades in Iran‘s defense industry and has held senior roles in its aerospace and missile sectors. He is subject to US and EU sanctions over his work in Iran‘s defense sector.

In a program presented to lawmakers, Akhlaqi pledged to rebuild the country’s military-industrial infrastructure, accelerate the development of defense technologies and expand cooperation with private-sector companies.

“If the American enemy makes another miscalculation, the response of the valiant Iranian people and the fighters of Islam will be surprising and extensive,” he said, adding that Tehran had taken necessary measures to counter the potential use by the US of its “mother of all bombs” against Iran.

CNN reported this week that the US has developed strike plans that could include using ‌the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, also known as the “mother of all bombs”, against Iranian energy ⁠infrastructure and nuclear sites if President Donald Trump orders renewed combat operations.

The weapon is the largest ‌non-nuclear ⁠bomb in the US arsenal.

“The US President should focus on ensuring his forces are withdrawn safely from our region. If he drops a single bomb, he will have to see how many of his troops end up being carried out of the region in a horizontal position,” Akhlaqi said.

Director Abby Mohaddes shares the story of her fat

Director Abby Mohaddes shares the story of her father’s enduring bond with his college friends, spanning over 40 years. Dubbed the “Nebraska Group,” these men from Iran found solace and strength in each other’s company as they navigated the political strife of the Iranian Revolution and the Iran Hostage Crisis while studying at the University of Nebraska as foreign students.

CAIRO, Oct 17 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that an oil tanker had exploded and caught fire after hitting a naval mine while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian media reported.
