Iran is considering a plan to reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz within two days, provided the United States agrees to its conditions, the country's Foreign Ministry said on Monday, November 2, 2026.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said the proposal reflected Iran's willingness to restore security in the key maritime passage and resume negotiations. Tehran had previously discussed a timeline of one week for reopening the strait.
"The possibility of implementing this plan in two days is another indication of Iran's good-faith approach," Baqaei said.
He added that Iran's demands would need to be met before security could be restored to the Strait of Hormuz. According to the spokesperson, negotiations could resume within a short period if an agreement was reached.
Baqaei also confirmed that the exchange of messages between the parties was continuing through mediators, indicating that diplomatic communication remained active.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important shipping routes, particularly for global oil and gas supplies. Any disruption to traffic through the narrow waterway can have wider consequences for international energy markets and maritime trade.
However, Iran's statement does not confirm that the strait will reopen within two days. The proposed timeline remains conditional on the United States accepting Tehran's demands and progress in ongoing diplomatic discussions.
