Iran proposes two-day plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz
Iran has proposed an accelerated diplomatic plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days, provided the United States meets specific conditions. This condensed timeline replaces a previous seven-day proposal submitted in September. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the plan is intended to restore security to the waterway and facilitate the resumption of negotiations.
The core demands from Tehran include ending the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports, lifting sanctions on the oil sector, releasing frozen Iranian assets abroad, and recognizing new shipping routes agreed upon with Oman. Additionally, Iran seeks a cessation of hostilities on all regional fronts.
Negotiations are currently being facilitated through Qatari mediators, with Iranian officials recently traveling to Doha to exchange messages with Washington. While Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted that talks are progressing, he emphasized that Tehran remains prepared for both diplomacy and military confrontation. The diplomatic efforts occur amid heightened tensions and threats of renewed military strikes following the U.S. midterm elections.
