In brief
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson confirmed that the two‑day reopening plan for the Strait of Hormuz remains viable, presenting it as a sign of good faith. The proposal follows a history of missile and drone attacks, a ceasefire, and a memorandum of understanding that failed to bring lasting peace. The U.S. has yet to respond to Iran’s conditions for reopening.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters on Monday that the country’s two‑day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is still on the table, urging Washington to meet its conditions and initiate talks within two days to restore security.
"Our position regarding the negotiations is completely clear and transparent. Iran’s two‑day plan per se is indicative of the country’s utmost good faith," Baghaei said at the weekly press conference in Tehran.
Baghaei emphasized that the plan was the "most logical proposal" available, and that if the United States acted, the West Asia region would soon see a positive shift and security would be restored. He also added that Iran had previously offered a seven‑day proposal in September but was now prepared to shorten the timeline if Washington accepted Iran’s demands.
The two‑day statement follows a tense history of missile and drone attacks between Tehran and Israel/United States, a ceasefire reached on April 8, and a memorandum of understanding signed on June 18 that had failed to produce a lasting agreement. The MoU had called for negotiations within 60 days, ending on August 17, to resolve disputes over Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions.
Earlier on the same day, Anadolu Ajansı reported that Tehran had reiterated the same offer, describing it as the most practical roadmap for restoring security in the Strait of Hormuz. The agency noted the U.S. had not yet presented a new proposal and demanded an end to U.S. actions in the region.
At this stage, no U.S. officials have publicly responded to the conditions set by Iran, leaving the possibility of a swift reopening dependent on diplomatic engagement in the coming days.
