What happened

Well supportedReported by 57 independent outlets

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that talks with Qatari mediators reduced the implementation period for Iran's proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz from five days to two days. Araghchi noted that Iran conveyed a seven-day plan to the United States through Qatar for restoring normal maritime passage if conditions are met. These conditions include lifting sanctions from the Islamabad memorandum, releasing frozen funds, and reducing US forces in the region.
