Not yet confirmed against a primary source

  • The Guardian states Iran offered to open the strait in 'six days', while five other outlets (Al Jazeera, CBS News, Channel News Asia, CNBC, RTE) state 'seven days'. Confirm which timeframe Araghchi actually stated, and whether The Guardian's 'six days' plus 'the day after' for nuclear talks equals seven total days or if this is a genuine discrepancy in reporting.
