Iran Discusses Reopening of Strait of Hormuz with Mediators

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi announced that his country is maintaining close contact with mediators within the scope of a seven-day plan aiming to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. As regional conflicts continue, various developments regarding Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and the US were also included in the report.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that they are in close contact with mediators regarding the prepared seven-day plan for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the Yemeni government announced that Aden International Airport was targeted by ballistic missile attacks carried out in two waves by the Houthis, and therefore air traffic at the airport was suspended. While clashes continue between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition supporting the Yemeni government, the US administration reiterated its decision for non-emergency government employees in Saudi Arabia to leave the country.

While Israeli attacks on areas including the Deir Mimas municipality building in southern Lebanon continue, Hezbollah once again rejected calls for disarmament. According to information reported by Reuters news agency, the amount spent by the US military so far for the war waged against Iran has exceeded 47 billion dollars; this figure is more than 25 percent above the Pentagon's estimate in July.
