On November 1, local time, Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian stated in a media interview that the Iranian delegation's visit to Qatar is a continuation of ongoing communication with mediators such as Qatar and Pakistan. Currently, the proposal on the table is essentially the same as Iran's previously proposed 'seven-day plan.' Qatar, Pakistan, and other mediators have conducted multiple consultations and discussions on this, suggesting alternatives that are more feasible and operational than Iran's 'seven-day plan.' Amir-Abdollahian mentioned that one of Qatar's suggestions is to shorten the seven-day deadline to five days or even less. At present, Iran agrees to a 'two-day plan,' which entails: on the first day, the United States will take a series of compliance measures. On the second day, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen, and maritime traffic will return to its previous state. Amir-Abdollahian pointed out that all these issues are now on the table, and as long as the US adheres to Iran's two-day plan, it can pave the way for peace and restore normalcy in the Strait of Hormuz. The path for negotiations between Iran and the US will only open after the US fulfills its commitments and the Strait of Hormuz is reopened. It is understood that the conditions Iran has set for US compliance include: establishing new shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, unfreezing Iranian funds, ending regional conflicts including those in Lebanon, lifting maritime blockades, granting exemptions for Iranian oil exports, and rescinding new sanctions imposed by the US after the Islamabad Memorandum.
