Confirmed · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) · 2026-10-17 12:12 UTC

Iran's foreign minister Araghchi says Iran conveyed a seven-day plan through Qatar to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with normal shipping resuming within seven days if conditions allow, and that the choice now rests with the US. Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari, as relayed by Tasnim, said the proposal was conveyed to the US through mediators and was challenged by Washington's insistence on including the nuclear file and broader demands. Later reports say the proposal remains on the table amid stalled talks.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
