Al Jazeera quoted Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi as saying that Qatari mediators have successfully brought the US and Iran to the negotiating table. Araghchi stated that Iran's initial seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was attempted to be shortened to five days or less under Qatari mediation, and now any potential agreement could be implemented within two days. He believes this demonstrates Iran's strong desire to reach a deal.
