Iran said Monday it could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if Washington meets its demands, as a draft proposal to end the war circulated through Qatari mediators.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi had visited Doha to facilitate indirect exchanges with the United States. He said the discussions were based on a seven-step proposal submitted in September, which Tehran now says could be implemented more quickly.

Iran's conditions include ending the war across the Middle East, releasing frozen Iranian assets, lifting oil sanctions and ending the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera that reopening the waterway would also require Washington to accept a new transit route agreed upon by Iran and Oman and reduce its military presence in the region.

The Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy shipping route, has been at the center of tensions since the war began in late February. Iran has asserted control over the passage, while Washington imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports.

The diplomatic efforts come amid concerns over renewed U.S. and Israeli strikes. President Donald Trump has described talks with Tehran as productive but has not ruled out further military action.

Baghaei warned that any new attack would prompt an immediate Iranian response, saying Tehran would retaliate against "any act of aggression."
