Iran has declared it will not permit military ships to navigate through the Strait of Hormuz under a potential agreement it is negotiating with Oman, according to Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, who spoke on state TV. This announcement comes as Iran and Oman discuss managing commercial shipping traffic in the crucial waterway, which has been largely closed off for nearly six months following the onset of the Iran war.
Gharibabadi did not offer more specifics on military traffic during the briefing. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping waterway, would see all commercial traffic flow entirely through Iranian waters, while the outbound route would traverse partly Iranian and partly Oman's territorial waters, according to Gharibabadi.
