Iran and Oman Agree on New Strait of Hormuz Routes; Regional Meeting Postponed
Iran and Oman have agreed on new entry and exit routes for the Strait of Hormuz, with the entry route lying entirely within Iranian territorial waters and part of the exit route also under Iran's jurisdiction. The arrangement, reached after extensive technical and diplomatic talks, will be presented to Gulf countries at a regional meeting in Oman, which has been postponed at the request of some regional states. Iran maintains seven conditions for reopening the strait, emphasizing that the waterway remains closed pending US compliance. The postponement aims to foster consensus and constructive dialogue amid ongoing regional tensions.
