Iran sets Strait of Hormuz condition for US, says Araghchi

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran's two-day proposal to the US regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz remains valid, contingent on Washington meeting Tehran's demands, including ceasing war on all fronts. Araghchi addressed the US on social media platform X, referencing the November 3 midterm elections, saying the White House must now choose between accepting the terms or facing consequences from Iran's battle-hardened forces. He warned of "hell" if the US opts for war. On November 1, Araghchi reported ongoing consultations with mediators on the two-day plan, with no final result yet. He previously confirmed Iran agreed to compress the plan's implementation timeline to two days during negotiations.
