Why It Matters
The "two-day plan" proposed by Iran aims to exchange for the easing of regional tensions and strait security through a US ceasefire. This follows eight months of conflict in the area.
China News Service, Beijing, November 9. Comprehensive news: Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi and Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Bagaei respectively stated on the 9th that they are "fed up" with the endless war and that the "two-day plan" proposed by Iran is still valid. Whether the Strait of Hormuz can be opened depends on the political will and decision-making of the United States.
Araghchi posted on social platforms on the 9th that Americans are tired of Israel dragging the United States into endless wars. "They have had enough, and our region has had enough."
Araghchi said on the 8th that the "two-day plan" proposed by Iran is still valid. If the United States meets relevant requirements and implements a comprehensive ceasefire, it will see results; if it chooses war, it will face a "devastating blow." Qatar's Al Jazeera commented on this that Iran issued an "ultimatum" to the United States in an effort to end the eight-month war.
Iran has previously stated that if the United States implements Iran's demands, it can create conditions for positive changes in the regional situation and restore security in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf within two days.
Bagaei reiterated on the 9th that the "two-day plan" proposed by Iran is currently the "most logical, feasible and organized" road map. To restore the security of the "global energy artery", the United States needs to "show real political will to break the deadlock."
He stressed that Iran's position has always been clear. The recent "instability" in the Strait of Hormuz is a direct result of the aggressive actions of the United States and Israel. All ships passing through the area need to coordinate with the Iraqi side to ensure safety.
Bagaei also said that Iran maintains consultations with mediators Qatar and Pakistan. Iran will only sign and implement agreements that fully protect Iran's national interests and legitimate rights.
Iran's Mahr News Agency reported on the 9th that Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval officials stated that Iran destroyed the enemy's navigation assistance system on the southern cliff of the Strait of Hormuz and that oil smuggling through illegal waterways has "completely stopped."
According to a report from the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the 8th, a total of four oil tankers that turned off their navigation and identification systems and attempted to leave the Strait of Hormuz through illegal channels hit mines or exploded and caught fire that day.
