Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz are all feasible if the United States demonstrates goodwill, has a genuine willingness to reach an agreement, and truly seeks a peaceful solution.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Araghchi said a proposal currently under discussion through Qatari and Pakistani mediation was based on Iran’s original seven-day plan, which Tehran presented during the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
Under the initial plan, the Strait of Hormuz would reopen on the sixth day if Iran’s conditions were met, and Iran-US negotiations would resume on the seventh day, according to Araghchi.
He said continued consultations among Iranian, Qatari, and Pakistani officials helped make the proposal more practical. A Qatari suggestion to shorten the seven-day timeline had led to a new two-day plan.
