Iran and Oman Discuss Temporary Corridor and Revenue Sharing for Strait of Hormuz
Iran and Oman have discussed a phased framework to restore safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, including a temporary joint maritime corridor and a joint mine-clearing project. The arrangement is temporary, with plans to negotiate a permanent shipping corridor and future administration within 30 to 60 days. Iran maintains the strait remains militarily closed and restricts military vessel passage, while commercial traffic may be allowed under the new route. The two countries also agreed to share revenues from transit fees, though Iran insists reopening depends on the US lifting its blockade and meeting its conditions. The US claims mines have been cleared, but tensions persist amid ongoing sanctions and regional security concerns.
