Iran, Oman Discuss Temporary Hormuz Corridor As Impasse With US Drags On
Iran and Oman have been in on-and-off talks for weeks about controlling traffic through the strategic waterway, which handled one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments before the war began in February.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Omani counterpart Badr Albusaidi met in Tehran to discuss the implementation of a temporary navigational corridor and mine-clearing project in the Strait of Hormuz. Both leaders emphasized the significance of reaching agreements that respected the sovereignty of their respective nations, according to a statement released by their offices.
The two discussed a proposed framework that "includes the establishment of a temporary joint navigation corridor through the Strait of Hormuz and an agreement to implement a joint project to clear the strait of mines." Araghchi and Albusaidi stressed that discussions would continue between the two countries to reach an agreement "on a permanent navigation corridor and future arrangements for managing the strait, alongside establishing a mechanism for exchanging information, managing navigation traffic, and providing related navigational and security services."
