Iran and Oman Negotiate Strait of Hormuz Reopening Amid Regional Tensions
Iran and Oman are negotiating terms to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route largely closed due to conflict and blockades since February. They have reportedly agreed on sharing control and revenues from the strait, with plans for a shipping corridor passing through both countries' waters. Iran has set conditions for reopening, including an end to the regional war and lifting of U.S. sanctions and blockades. Talks continue amid ongoing diplomatic efforts involving regional mediators and concerns over global energy supplies.
