In brief
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman confirmed that a two‑day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remains on the table, a move aimed at signaling Iran’s willingness to resolve tensions with the United States. While the plan builds on a prior seven‑day proposal and follows a recent ceasefire, there is no indication the U.S. has accepted the terms or that negotiations have advanced.
At a weekly press briefing in Tehran on Monday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei reiterated that the country's two‑day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remains on the table.
Baghaei said the plan is "indicative of the country's utmost good faith" and described it as the "most logical proposal" available. He added that, if Washington meets Tehran’s conditions, security in the region could be restored within two days.
The ministry earlier had floated a seven‑day proposal in September to cease hostilities and reopen the Strait, and said it would shorten the implementation period to two days once a deal is reached.
Iran’s statement follows a ceasefire brokered by the United States and Israel on April 8, after a series of missile and drone attacks that had tightened the Strait’s closure. A memorandum of understanding on ending the war in the region was signed on June 18, with negotiations scheduled to conclude on August 17, though progress has stalled.
There is no confirmation from U.S. officials or other independent outlets that Washington has accepted the two‑day plan or that talks are advancing toward a final agreement.
