Iran floats a two-day plan to reopen Hormuz
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a new proposal discussed with Qatari mediators could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days, down from a previous seven-day timeline, if the U.S. meets Iran's conditions. President Trump said talks were "going fine" but called Iran "not very reliable" and said the U.S. still had one or two sites to deal with; Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump has not decided on new strikes. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei warned any new threat would get an immediate response without geographic limits.
