Iran Receives US Response Amid Historic Withdrawal from Iraq

October 1, 2026 • 1 hour ago •

BAGHDAD: The Iranian government announced it has received a response from the United States regarding its proposal to revive the ceasefire in the Gulf, coinciding with the historic conclusion of the US-led coalition’s mission in Iraq. This withdrawal, celebrated by both nations as a significant victory, marks a pivotal moment in regional dynamics.

President Donald Trump declared the US had achieved ‘virtually total control’ over the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that record levels of oil have flowed through the waterway in recent days. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted that while Tehran had not received a formal rejection of its proposal, a spokesperson confirmed that a US response had been communicated.

This development has broader implications for international relations, particularly in the context of US-Iran tensions. The revival of the ceasefire could pave the way for improved diplomatic relations, impacting not only regional stability but also global oil markets.

Looking ahead, both nations are expected to engage in further discussions to clarify the steps needed to restore the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between them. The order of these steps remains a point of contention, but both sides appear to agree on the necessary actions.
