Two more tankers were blown up in Hormuz: Iran is waiting for the response of the United States Two tankers were hit by mines in the Strait of Hormuz, and a fire broke out in one, reports IRNA. According to the Revolutionary Guards, the vessels, supported by the US military, attempted to navigate an "unauthorized route" by turning off their transmitters. The names of the ships and information about the victims are not provided. This is the third explosion in three days. The day before, the Iranian navy reported a tanker with mines in the eastern part of the strait, and at night the UKMTO reported shelling another ship. The diplomatic route is not closed. The AP news agency writes that Iran has proposed to the United States to fully open the strait in two days on its terms and is waiting for a response. Messages are transmitted through intermediaries. US Vice President J. De Vance also suggested to Tehran to resume the direct dialogue, especially on the nuclear program. At the same time, the military presented Trump with its options for solving problems - from hours-long attacks to a multi-week campaign against Iran's air defense, infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Beijing is also getting involved in the situation. In the first half of November, China's special envoy, Zhai Jun, will visit Iran, Oman and Saudi Arabia. The purpose of the visit is to convey a number of initiatives and proposals by Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed at promoting peace and security in the Middle East region. Only one day left before the congressional elections. While Washington chooses between an attack and a response to the proposal, Tehran shows that the strait is not closed with words: any ship outside the Iranian path risks an explosion.
