Iran Offers to Reopen Strait of Hormuz in Two Days If US Meets Demands
Iran has offered to reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz within two days if the United States meets its conditions, shortening an earlier one-week proposal. Iranian officials, including Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, emphasized that reopening depends entirely on Washington accepting demands such as ending the Middle East conflict, lifting sanctions, unfreezing Iranian assets, and ending the US naval blockade. Indirect negotiations continue through mediators amid ongoing regional tensions and US midterm elections.
