Iran demands inbound control of Hormuz and outbound oversight: Report
Iran and Oman are nearing a framework that would split tanker traffic into separate lanes and charge service fees to fund security and monitoring, officials said.
- Iran is seeking direct control over inbound shipping through the Strait of Hormuz along with mandatory visibility and intervention authority over outbound vessel traffic under reopening plans being negotiated with Oman.
- Under the proposed framework, outbound maritime traffic would pass through a designated lane between Iran and Oman, with final exit clearance granted by Oman only after notifying Iranian authorities.
- Tehran rejected an earlier Omani counterproposal for an equal 50-50 division of transit routes, maintaining that equal split administration fails to resolve Iran's core security concerns.
- Negotiators from Tehran and Muscat continue working toward establishing a temporary, mutually acceptable shipping corridor to safely restore commercial traffic through the strategic waterway.
- Iranian officials and state media emphasize that no final agreement has been reached yet and that full reopening remains contingent on resolving ongoing regional security threats.
