Iran and Oman agree route for ships in Strait of Hormuz, Tehran says
Iran and Oman are finalizing a joint statement on the route, while sources say the deal could give Tehran control over ships entering the Gulf.
- 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.
