Iran proposes 48-hour plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz after US talks

Iran has proposed a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, contingent on the US implementing unspecified measures first, following Qatar-mediated talks. The proposal remains conditional and unconfirmed, with no US acceptance announced. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the plan involves US actions on day one, allowing Iran to restore normal navigation on day two. It is a shortened version of an earlier seven-day proposal, but Araghchi clarified it is not an agreed deal, with consultations ongoing. The plan depends on US compliance with Iran's conditions, reportedly including sanctions relief, and Washington has not publicly responded. The strait's closure has worsened a global energy crisis amid the US-Israel war on Iran, with Qatar mediating to reduce escalation risks.
