Iran War: Meeting in Oman – Agreement on Strait of Hormuz planned
A major breakthrough is not expected at the Hormuz Strait meeting. Riyadh, meanwhile, is coming under further pressure because now the Saudi alternative route for oil exports is also not usable for the time being.
Iranian President Massud Peseschkian says Iran and Oman will sign an agreement on new shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday in Muscat. The Arab Gulf states are also invited to the meeting, but Bahrain will boycott it. The agreement will be handed over to the International Maritime Organization and participants will receive maps of the new routes. A quick opening of the strait to international shipping is not expected, as Iran says the US must first agree to end its naval blockade and military actions.
