Iran Reaffirms Two-Day Plan to Reopen Strait of Hormuz if Demands Met

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei reiterated Monday that Tehran's two-day proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz remains on the table, contingent on Washington meeting Iranian demands. Baghaei said the proposal reflects Tehran's goodwill and could restore security to the strait and begin a new path within two days if US demands are met, according to state news agency IRNA. He also stated Iran sees no difference between US political parties, having suffered under both over past decades. The remarks follow President Donald Trump telling CNN on Sunday that renewed US military strikes are "highly unlikely" if Iran progresses toward a nuclear agreement and reopening the strait, though he maintained the military option remains available. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that a breakthrough in negotiations is not imminent.
