Mediators say the plan could open the waterway within hours and give negotiators 15 to 20 days to reach a broader settlement.
- The United States, Iran, and regional mediators are discussing a potential 45-day ceasefire to reopen the Strait of Hormuz before President Donald Trump's Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time deadline.

- President Trump threatened to destroy Iranian power plants and bridges in profanity-laden posts on Truth Social if the Strait is not opened by his deadline, saying "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day."
