  "account": "Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz are all achievable if the United States exhibits goodwill and is genuinely committed to negotiating a peaceful resolution, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) and Al Jazeera. The foreign minister made these remarks during an interview with Al Jazeera, which was later published on his official Telegram channel. Araghchi outlined a proposal currently under discussion, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, which is based on Iran's original seven-day plan presented during the UN General Assembly in September. Under this plan, the Strait of Hormuz would reopen on the sixth day if Iran's conditions were met, followed by the resumption of Iran-US negotiations on the seventh day. A revised two-day plan was proposed after Qatar suggested shortening the timeline. The United States' required measures under the plan, which were not unusual and had been included in an earlier memorandum of understanding signed by the two sides in June, include lifting new sanctions, reducing its military presence in the region to previous levels, lifting the blockade, and implementing oil sanctions waivers. Araghchi emphasized that these conditions are feasible if the US demonstrates goodwill, a genuine desire for an agreement, and a commitment to a peaceful solution. He added that the proposal could lead to peace, normalize maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and help restore normalcy in the region. Iran aims to negotiate the complete lifting of sanctions, while the US is interested in discussing the nuclear issue. The top Iranian diplomat highlighted trust as the primary obstacle between Tehran and Washington, citing past instances of attacks on Iran during diplomatic efforts. He also recalled the 2015 nuclear deal, stating that the US violated it and withdrew from it, as well as the breach of a memorandum of understanding signed by US President Donald Trump shortly after its conclusion. Iran is approaching negotiations cautiously, given this history, and is considering trust-building proposals as part of ongoing consultations.",
