Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 13:04 · Archive

Iran said it has a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks with the United States if Washington meets its demands.

Iran said Monday it had a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks with the United States, shortening an original seven-day timeline. The announcement came as the region braces for possible renewed fighting. Iran's top diplomat said Sunday he hoped the US would choose "diplomacy over other paths."

Iran's conditions include lifting the US blockade of Iranian ports, ending sanctions on Iranian oil sales, and agreeing to a ceasefire that would include Lebanon. Ships passing through the reopened strait would have to follow a route agreed upon by Iran and Oman and travel under Iranian supervision. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said the plan remained the basis for negotiations with Washington through mediators, despite the shorter implementation timeline.

"This once again demonstrates Iran's good-faith approach," Baghaei said. However, he gave no indication that Tehran had changed its demands or that Washington had accepted its proposal. President Donald Trump has alternated between pursuing diplomacy and threatening heavy bombing of Iran in his public comments.
