Iran Has 2-Day Plan to Reopen Strait, Resume Nuclear Talks with US

  • On Sunday, Iran awaited a U.S. response to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days, a day after President Donald Trump told reporters negotiations were "going fine" but that Iran was "not very reliable."
  • The blockade has severely restricted traffic through the waterway, with the U.K. Maritime Trade Operations center logging over 30 reported attacks in October, the highest of any month in the war, leaving the strait carrying only a fraction of prewar volume.
  • Iranian state media displayed missiles and drones on November 1, signaling an "immediate, effective response, without geographical limitations," while President Trump claimed American forces could handle "one or two sites" in Iran's nuclear program in 10 minutes.
  • Despite diplomatic signaling, violence persisted on the water over the weekend, as the Revolutionary Guard continued to enforce its own rules and at least four tankers were identified as struck on Friday and Saturday.
  • President Trump has set the U.S. midterm elections as the boundary for any resumption of strikes, with U.S. officials indicating strike options will be presented to him after the vote, establishing a critical deadline for negotiations.
