TEHRAN, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said early Wednesday that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible for a period of two weeks through coordination with the Iranian armed forces, with due consideration of technical limitations.

Araghchi made the remarks in a post on the social media platform X, saying that if attacks against Iran are stopped, Iran's "powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations."
