A top U.S. official has dismissed Iran’s proposed seven-day timeline to restore full navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, calling the framework "not acceptable" and signaling deep skepticism over Tehran’s commitment to easing tensions in one of the world’s most critical shipping chokepoints. The rejection underscores ongoing diplomatic friction between the two nations, where concerns over maritime security and regional stability remain central to the standoff.

The move follows a period of heightened military posturing and economic pressures, leaving observers to assess whether de-escalation remains possible.
