Iran and Oman agree route for ships in Strait of Hormuz, Tehran says
Iran and Oman said the route’s coordinates were agreed upon, and officials said a joint statement is in final review after nearly two months of talks.
- On Wednesday, Iran and Oman reached an understanding on geographic coordinates for a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei announcing a joint statement is being finalized.
- Baghaei described ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Muscat as "professional" and "moving forward," confirming both sides reached a "mutual understanding on the geographical parameters of the route under discussion."
- Sources suggest the proposed agreement would grant Tehran control over vessels entering the Gulf, though Baghaei cautioned that finalization depends on ensuring no third parties obstruct the process.
- Regional sources pushed back against claims by President Donald Trump that a deal reopening the Strait is imminent, indicating important details still require further negotiation.
- Baghaei emphasized that such an agreement between the two nations would not, by itself, guarantee long-term security within the strategic Strait, clarifying the arrangement's technical scope.

The Gulf states Iran and Oman bordering the Strait of Hormus are, according to information from Tehran, about to reach an agreement on a new shipping route.
Iran and Oman were working on a "joint declaration", according to an Iranian spokesman. Tehran has blocked the strait since the resumption of hostilities with the United States in early July, to which Washington responded by imposing its own blockade against Iranian ports.
Iran says the agreement is in its final stages. But it also warned that the agreement with Oman does not yet guarantee safe shipping.
Tehran and Muscat validated a new route for sea transit in the Strait of Ormuz, while conditioning a possible reopening at the end of the blockade imposed by Washington
