Iran and Oman have agreed on the fundamental principles of a temporary arrangement concerning the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint for global energy supplies.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, which cited two diplomatic sources familiar with the negotiations, the "MS Now" television channel reported that Oman has formally accepted the interim agreement.
An unnamed Iranian official stated that under this framework, a new entry route controlled by Iran and an exit route under Omani supervision will be established within the Strait. The official further clarified that, at this stage, no fees or transit duties will be levied on vessels passing through the waterway.
The source indicated that the official announcement of the agreement is expected to involve the United States and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), though a specific timeline for the formalization of these measures has not yet been disclosed.
The Strait of Hormuz is widely considered one of the world's most important maritime chokepoints, as it serves as the primary route for oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from the Persian Gulf to international markets. Given its strategic significance, any regulatory adjustments or agreements regarding navigation in this area are closely monitored by the global community to ensure the stability of energy supply chains and regional security.
