Iran-Oman understanding does not provide for immediate reopening of Strait of Hormuz, Tasnim reports
Tehran and Muscat agreed on new entry and exit lanes under Iranian control, while seven conditions still block any reopening, Tasnim reported.
- Iran and Oman finalized an agreement on new entry and exit routes for the Strait of Hormuz, with plans to brief Gulf delegations on the results at a regional meeting in Muscat on Monday.
- Although Iran and Oman reached this understanding, it "in no way means that the Strait will be opened," according to an Iranian source speaking to Tasnim news agency.
- Under the understanding, entry routes into the Persian Gulf lie entirely within Iranian territorial waters, while the exit route falls partially within Iranian control under the new protocol.
- Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei announced on Friday that Gulf littoral states' foreign ministers will meet in Oman on Monday to discuss regional issues and these maritime transit consultations.
- Reopening the waterway remains dependent on the United States, as Iran has conveyed seven specific conditions that must be met before operations can resume, officials stated.
