Iran and Oman have reached an understanding on a plan allowing ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said. The countries are finalising details for a joint statement as part of efforts to reopen the key route. Earlier reports suggested ships may use routes near both countries during an interim period.
Iran has reached an understanding with Oman on a plan allowing ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides now working to finalise details for a joint statement.
Iranian Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmail Baghaei told reporters in Tehran that “an understanding has been reached regarding the map of the transit route.”
Baghaei did not provide further details. However, details that emerged earlier suggest the agreement would reopen the strait, with ships entering through a route close to Iran and exiting through one near Oman. During an interim period, vessels would be allowed to transit without paying fees or tolls.
The US has sought an acceptable agreement on reopening the strait before ending its blockade of Iranian ports.
