Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera that Tehran, working alongside Qatari mediators, has reached a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days, contingent on the United States meeting Iran's conditions. Araghchi described the US offer of dialogue as "a positive step," signalling some cautious optimism from Tehran even as the talks remain at an early stage. An Iranian delegation has travelled to Doha as part of the ongoing mediation effort, with Qatar playing a central role in bridging the two sides. President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters, said negotiations with Iran are "going fine" but added that he is "not in that much of a hurry" to reach a deal, suggesting Washington is not under pressure to move quickly. The two-day window outlined by Araghchi would allow for a rapid restoration of shipping through the strategically vital waterway if an agreement is reached, though the specific conditions Iran requires the US to fulfil have not been publicly detailed. The talks mark a notable diplomatic moment, with both sides at least publicly acknowledging that communication is under way.
