Iran Proposes Two-Day Plan to Reopen Hormuz
Part of: Iran's ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz →
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei stated that Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days is the most rational option for restoring security in the strategic waterway, according to IRNA. Baqaei emphasized that lasting security in the Strait and the Persian Gulf is unattainable as long as the United States continues its hostile actions against Iran. The proposal aims to alleviate the current trade disruptions caused by the closure of the Strait, a critical passage for global oil shipments.
