Iran and Oman Discuss Temporary Corridor and Mine Clearance in Strait of Hormuz
Iran and Oman have resumed talks to establish a temporary joint maritime corridor and a mine-clearing project in the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to restore safe navigation through this strategic waterway. Both countries plan to continue technical negotiations on a permanent shipping corridor, future administration, and mechanisms for traffic management and information sharing.
