Iran offers to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if the US meets its conditions Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araji said Qatari mediators helped cut short Tehran's seven-day plan. According to the new sequence, the US will take its steps on the first day and the shipment will resume on the second day. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Bagai called the faster timeline a sign of Iran's good faith, but clarified that the strait will not be reopened or secured unless the US naval blockade ends. The Iranian plan calls on Washington to lift the blockade, release the freeze on Iranian assets and authorize an Iranian-backed route through the strait. Iran also wants a reduced US military presence and an end to attacks on Lebanon. Iran's negotiators left Doha on Sunday after three days of consultations, but communications with Washington continue through intermediaries. Tehran is now waiting for an American answer. Trump rejected Iran's original plan and did not rule out further military action, though he said there would be no new attacks before Tuesday's midterm elections. The fear is growing that the US and Israel may harm Iran shortly after the vote.
