Reports of missiles and Iran’s plan

Meanwhile, the semi-official Iranian agency Tasnim said that, according to preliminary information, two missiles struck Qeshm Island. At the same time, the agency noted that there is no official information about possible damage. The United States has not yet announced any attack on targets inside Iran.

The article notes that Iran has been proposing a seven-day plan since September, which US President Donald Trump has so far rejected. The plan provides for lifting the blockade of Iranian ports, unfreezing assets, and approving an Iran-backed route through the Strait of Hormuz; after that, the waterway was to reopen.
