Hormuz could reopen within two days if the US meets Tehran's terms, Iran says, as Xi and Oman's sultan call for safe passage
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the Strait of Hormuz could reopen and talks with Washington resume within two days if the United States accepted Iran's conditions, shortening a seven-day timeline proposed in September. In Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq called for normal navigation through the strait to resume, and China said it was sending its Middle East envoy to Iran, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
