Iran Says Hormuz Reopening Plan Cut to Two Days in Qatar Talks

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera on Saturday that talks with Qatari mediators had produced a proposal shortening the time needed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to two days, after Qatar suggested five. He said Iran’s conditions include lifting sanctions, reducing U.S. forces in the region, restoring oil waivers and releasing frozen funds. He called a U.S. outreach letter from Vice President JD Vance “a positive step,” but said no meetings with U.S. officials are planned. No deal has been announced.
