Iran and Oman Agree on Temporary Strait of Hormuz Route

Iran and Oman have established a temporary 7-mile wide maritime transit corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, though Iran insists the waterway will not fully reopen until US commitments are met.

The route, which passes through Iranian territorial waters, follows months of regional tension and a naval blockade that previously caused global Brent crude prices to surge past $100.

Key operational details, including precise coordinates and revenue-sharing protocols between Iran and Oman, remain unclear despite the agreement reached after negotiations began one month ago.
