Updated 01.11.2026 · 21:14, Athens time — What changed
Sunday’s development: Reuters, citing an official briefed on the discussions, reports that contacts between the Iranian delegation and Qatari mediators are continuing for a third day in Doha.
ERT reports Abbas Araqchi’s statement today that no final outcome has been reached. The change from the previous update is the continuation of consultations; it is not confirmation of US acceptance or reopening of the strait.
The two-day period under discussion still depends on agreement and implementation of conditions. It is not a deadline that automatically began today or a guarantee of safe navigation.
Previous updates — history
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented Al Jazeera on 31 October with a proposal to reopen Hormuz within two days, following Qatari mediation.
According to ERTnews, he described US measures on the first day and reopening on the second. Implementation depends on Iran’s conditions being met.
This is the Iranian side’s description of a proposal. The available statements do not establish US acceptance, the start of implementation or restored passage. The two-day period is not a confirmed deadline running from today.
