In brief
On 9 November 2026 Tehran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei reaffirmed that Iran’s three‑phase plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days remains on the table. The proposal, originally a seven‑day ceasefire, can be shortened if Washington meets Iran’s conditions. While the U.S. has repeatedly rejected the plan, Anadolu reports it still views the two‑day framework as a practical roadmap for restoring security.
On Monday, 9 November 2026, Tehran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei announced that Iran’s plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in two days is still on the table.
Baghaei said,
"Our position regarding the negotiations is completely clear and transparent. Iran's two‑day plan per se is indicative of the country's utmost good faith." He added that the proposal is the "most logical proposal" available and urged Washington to meet Iran’s demands to restore security within two days.
The plan, which was first offered as a seven‑day ceasefire in September, could be condensed to a two‑day implementation period if the United States accepts Tehran’s conditions. The proposal follows a ceasefire reached on 8 April after a series of missile and drone attacks between Iran and the U.S.-led coalition.
In a related development, NBC News reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. has repeatedly rejected the two‑day plan, despite Iran’s readiness to shorten the timeline if Washington complies.
