TEHRAN, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- Iran's government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said Wednesday that the country has received the U.S. proposal in response to its proposed seven-day plan to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post on social media platform X, Mohajerani said that Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi announced having received the U.S. proposal at a cabinet meeting earlier in the day.

Iran conveyed a proposed seven-day plan to cease hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to the United States through mediators last Tuesday on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and other Iranian cities. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S. bases and assets in the region, and tightened its grip on the Strait of Hormuz.

On June 18, the United States and Iran signed the MoU on ending the war in the region on all fronts, including Lebanon. Under the agreement, known as the Islamabad MoU, they were scheduled to hold negotiations within a period of 60 days, which ended on Aug. 17, to reach a final agreement, but the talks' fate remains unclear following a series of recent escalations between the two countries.
