  "account": "Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Oman's Badr Albusaidi discussed an \"interim framework\" to restart shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a joint statement. The goal is to establish a temporary joint maritime corridor and plan for mine clearance to resume safe navigation through the key waterway. Technical talks will continue to reach a permanent solution. The Strait of Hormuz, which previously handled about a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas, has been largely closed since Iran blocked it after US and Israeli attacks on Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on February 28. Iran and Oman plan to hold further talks within 30 to 60 days to negotiate a permanent route for shipping through the vital waterway. US President Donald Trump claimed the US Navy had cleared mines from the strait, despite skepticism from European officials about the complexity of mine clearing. Both Iran and Oman emphasized the importance of holding joint talks with regional countries bordering the Persian Gulf. An agreement to ease traffic through the strait could aid revived talks between Iran and the US following a 60-day interim peace deal.",
