Iran offers 7-day plan to US, says Strait of Hormuz could reopen on sixth day if conditions met
Baghdad [Iraq], October 18 : Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that Tehran has presented the United States with a seven-day plan to resolve the ongoing conflict, adding that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen on the sixth day and negotiations resume on the seventh if Washington meets Iran's conditions. Irans position is clear and has been presented to the US side in the form of a seven-day plan. The US side has put forward its views, which we are currently reviewing, Araghchi said, as reported by Press TV. If there were any real sincerity on the US sidewhich there isn'tthe way forward would be clear. If the US meets those conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen on the sixth day, and negotiations will resume on the seventh day, he added. Araghchi's remarks come amid continuing tensions between Tehran and Washington, with both sides exchanging accusations over the conflict and the prospects for diplomatic engagement. Earlier, addressing the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers meeting, Araghchi accused the United States of choosing aggression, threats, and economic warfare instead of pursuing diplomacy, according to Al Jazeera. The United States chose the opposite path: aggression, threats, assassination, and economic warfare, with blatant disregard for international law and the United Nations Charter, he said. The Iranian foreign minister maintained that Tehran would not accept pressure or intimidation but remained open to negotiations based on mutual respect and credible guarantees. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has also said that Tehran would not bow down to the excesses of aggressor countries. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump on Saturday expressed confidence that the ongoing war with Iran would end very quickly, linking the conclusion of hostilities to lower energy prices for American consumers. Speaking at a campaign rally in Kentucky, Trump defended previous US strikes against Iranian targets, claiming that the operations had damaged Iran's nuclear capabilities. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh has meanwhile stressed that ending hostilities across all fronts, including in Lebanon, is essential for lasting regional peace. Notably, in September, Araghchi said Iran had offered a seven-day plan to end the conflict in West Asia, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and initiate comprehensive talks on its nuclear programme. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, Araghchi said the proposal was similar to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) reached between Iran and the US in June. We have introduced a plan to the United States through the intermediaries that if certain conditions are met, the Strait of Hormuz would be open at the end of the seventh day and talks would restart. It would be better if a deal was reached before the US midterm elections, he said. (ANI)

What drives corporate investment?
Corporate investment as a share of GDP in India has declined sharply since demonetisation, with the fall persisting despite tax cuts and a low-interest-rate regime; smaller firms face higher interest costs, while larger firms are more constrained by demand; reviving investment requires government expenditure to push profitability up
Does inflation targeting work in India?
Indias Phillips curve is found to be flat, while households inflation expectations remain consistently higher than the RBIs projections; this suggests that inflation targeting can lower output and employment without a commensurate reduction in inflation
What lies beyond Indias E20 push
The E20 blends promised savings were offset by lower mileage, with consumers spending an estimated 88,234 cr. extra over the last three years; its benefits for emissions and forex savings are uncertain, as higher fuel consumption can raise emissions while diverting crops to ethanol can affect food security and exports
Why the debate between Keynesian and orthodox economics matters
Keynes-Kalecki framework holds that demand, in particular private investment, shapes short-term fluctuations as well as long-term growth, unlike orthodox approaches that see supply as determining long-term growth; shift towards inflation targeting coincided with falling wage shares and greater burden on workers
