Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that the Strait of Hormuz could be reopened within two days if the United States meets Iran's "legitimate" demands.

Speaking at a weekly press conference in Tehran, Baghaei said the basis for any indirect engagement between Iran and the United States through mediators remains Tehran's seven-day plan proposed in September, The Caspian Post reports, citing Xinhua.

He added that Iran had shortened the timeframe for implementing the plan to two days as a demonstration of its good faith.

"We have announced that if Iran's demands are met, the possibility will exist to restore security to the Strait of Hormuz and start the negotiation process in a short period of time," he said, stressing that the next steps depend on the American side's decision regarding how to proceed with the process.

Baghaei said Iran had presented its demands "clearly, reasonably, and logically," emphasizing that no agreement would be reached and the Strait of Hormuz would neither be reopened nor secured unless the United States lifts its naval blockade against Iran and addresses Tehran's "legitimate" demands.

Iran submitted its seven-day plan, outlining its conditions for ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, to the United States through mediators on the sidelines of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York on September 22. Tehran and Washington have reportedly continued exchanging messages regarding the proposal since then.
