On the same day, the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that Iran is reviewing the U.S. proposals, but the conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz remain unchanged. According to reports, with the rotation of U.S. aircraft carriers, only the USS Washington is currently deployed in the Middle East. As of last Sunday, a total of 24 vessels were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters within two weeks, marking the most severe wave of incidents since the onset of the Iran conflict—far surpassing the previous two-week peak of 13 ships. Oil exports through the strait have dropped by more than 80% compared to the average daily level in September.
