Hormuz ‘security restored’ if US agrees to plan

TEHRAN, Nov 2: Iran on Monday said it was ready to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if the US agrees to its conditions, having previously proposed a one-week timeline.

"The possibility of implementing this plan in two days is another indication of Iran's good-faith approach," said foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei.

"We have stated that, if Iran's demands are met, it would be possible to restore security to the Strait of Hormuz and resume the negotiating process within a short period."

He said an exchange of messages was ongoing with the United States via mediators and that "everything depends" on the US side accepting the Iranian demands.�" AFP
