Iran: Two-day plan ready, contingent on US action; Garibabadi says war conditions prevail.
Assistant Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told Iranian television that the plan was cut from seven days to two after consultation with mediators Qatar and Pakistan, and that its implementation depends on practical action by the US so that Iran can open the Strait of Hormuz. He said that America cannot be trusted, has broken its commitments at least three times in the last year and a half, and carried out acts of war yesterday. Iran's hand is legally free to take any action, he said, and since the United States has rejected the implementation of Iranian terms, no understanding will be reached. He said that the US has failed in the military way and now needs to regain Iran's trust through diplomacy.
