The Aporia · Iran says it will reply to US response on Hormuz proposal once review over

On October 12, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei announced that Iran will respond to a US proposal regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz after reviewing it. The review process involves intermediaries like Qatar and Pakistan who have been mediating between the US and Iran since the conflict began in February. Iran emphasizes that negotiations should initially focus on securing the Strait of Hormuz, which carries approximately one-fifth of global oil trade, rather than immediately addressing Iran's nuclear program.

Story summary

Iran is reviewing a US response regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and will reply to the US through intermediaries after completing its review, according to Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry. The process has stalled since September, with Iran's security chief stating that Washington's response did not adequately address Tehran’s seven conditions for reopening the strait and resuming negotiations. Key disagreements include the US insistence on addressing Iran's nuclear program from the start, whereas Iran wants to focus initially on reopening the strategic waterway. The exchange of messages continues via intermediaries such as Qatar and Pakistan, which have been involved in efforts to mediate between the two nations since February 28 when strikes initiated by the US and Israel on Iran began.
