According to Iranian sources on the 18th, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi stated that Iran's plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is still on the negotiating table. Iran's conditions are very clear and have been conveyed to the United States in the form of a "seven-day plan." The United States has responded to the plan, and Iran is currently assessing the situation. Araqchi said that if the United States is sincere and accepts Iran's conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will open on the sixth day, and negotiations will begin on the seventh day.
Araqchi had previously stated that Iran had conveyed a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to the United States through Qatar, and that if the United States takes necessary action accordingly, the Strait of Hormuz could reopen within seven days, restoring normal maritime traffic.
