Hormuz agreement requires ships to coordinate with Iran while on Omani side, sources tell 'Post'
Negotiations regarding a permanent solution for the Hormuz are set to continue during the period of the agreement, as well as nuclear talks.
A temporary agreement between Iran and Oman will require ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to coordinate with Iran, regardless of whether they exit through the Omani side, according to diplomatic sources. This 60-day agreement stipulates that vessels must enter the strait from the Iranian side and exit from the Omani side. Mines will be cleared from the central sections of the waterway during this period, and Iranian demands for fees will not be imposed, although voluntary "insurance, environmental quality fees" may be charged.
While Iran may encourage such payments, negotiations for a permanent solution to the Hormuz issue are expected to continue alongside ongoing nuclear talks.
