Strait of Hormuz framework agreed with Oman, says Iranian official amid US-Iran war: When will it completely reopen?
An Iranian official said that framework regarding the Strait of Hormuz has been agreed with Oman. It remains uncertain whether Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has approved the proposal, which is required for the agreement to move forward.
Iranian officials have announced that an understanding framework has been reached between Iran and Oman regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz, amidst ongoing tensions between the two nations and the United States. The final details of the agreement are expected to be revealed soon, with the framework aimed at managing vessel movements in the strategic waterway.
Iran will oversee the entry of vessels, while Oman will play a role in their exit. The agreement includes provisions for barring US and Israeli vessels from the strait, with Iran requiring compensation from hostile nations before allowing their transit. The US lifting of its maritime blockade and sanctions on Iran's oil sector are seen as essential conditions for the success of the deal.
Iran has demanded the lifting of the US blockade and the resumption of negotiations over its frozen assets as preconditions for reopening the strait. While US President Donald Trump has stated that talks are "moving along," he has not confirmed whether a deal has been reached. Iran insists that the discussions are between Tehran and Muscat, with no negotiations involving the US.
