news.yahoo.co.jp (Japanese) —

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced an agreement with a mediating country to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if conditions are met, amid reports the U.S. is considering another attack. Araghchi stated on October 31 that Qatar proposed reopening the strait within five days, and after negotiations, both sides agreed on a two-day timeline. He added that reopening would open the door for negotiations on unresolved issues with the U.S. In September, Iran had proposed reopening the strait within one week, demanding sanctions relief and U.S. military withdrawal from the region. The strait's closure has raised global concerns about oil shipping routes.
