Iran Gives White House Two Days to Accept Peace Proposal, Araghchi Warns of War
Iran has given the White House two days to accept its latest peace proposal, warning that its forces would respond with a major military escalation if Washington chooses war instead of an agreement. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was prepared to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within that timeframe, provided the United States meets Iran's conditions.
The warning, shared by Coin Bureau, comes amid tensions between Washington and Tehran over the conflict, maritime access and the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. Araghchi said reopening the strategically important waterway would depend on an agreement that includes an end to fighting on all fronts and the lifting of the American blockade.
Iran Sets Conditions for Reopening Strait of Hormuz
Araghchi's proposal links the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to two central demands: an end to hostilities across all fronts and the removal of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. He indicated that Iran could restore access to the waterway within two days if Washington accepts those conditions.
The two-day timeframe gives the White House a limited period to respond to Tehran's latest proposal. However, the statement does not provide further details about the proposed arrangements, the process for implementing them or whether Washington has accepted the conditions.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime route, making its status a central issue in the confrontation between the two countries. Iran's stated willingness to reopen it is therefore directly tied to the broader negotiations over the conflict and the restrictions imposed on Iranian ports.
Araghchi Issues Warning if Washington Chooses War
Alongside the diplomatic offer, Araghchi issued a direct warning about the consequences of a military escalation. He said Iran's forces were prepared to respond if the United States rejected the proposal and opted for war.
“Or choose war, and see our alert and battle-hardened Warriors rain down hell,” Araghchi warned.
He also addressed the political situation in the United States following the U.S. midterms, writing: “American voters have made their choice. Time for the White House to make its own.”
The remarks frame Tehran's proposal as a choice between accepting its conditions for a potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and facing the possibility of further military confrontation. The statement, however, does not establish whether the White House will meet Iran's demands within the two-day period.
