Iran says it and Qatar have a two-day plan to reopen Hormuz if US meets conditions

Early on Sunday, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran and Qatar have worked out a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days, provided the US meets Tehran's conditions. On Saturday he called US outreach a positive step while saying Iran does not rule out an attack, and Iran's supreme leader warned that any response would not be limited by geography. Diplomacy continues alongside reports that Washington is weighing renewed strikes.

• Araghchi says an Iran-Qatar plan could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days, subject to US meeting Iran's conditions; an Iranian delegation is in Qatar for talks.
• Iranian lawmakers urged withdrawal from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty on Saturday; observers say leaving would not by itself mean Iran would build a weapon.
• Senators were briefed on Trump's reported plan to restart the war, and The Atlantic reported a top Joint Chiefs planner was removed; Senator Chris Murphy warned of devastating consequences.
• Iran's IRGC said on Friday that four tankers struck mines after using "unauthorised" routes in the strait; Vance had earlier proposed restarting comprehensive talks in a letter.
