IRIB reports Iran’s deputy foreign minister said Tehran and Oman have reached a
temporary understanding on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz: inbound
routes into the Persian Gulf will transit Iranian waters, outbound routes will
transit Omani and Iranian waters, and military vessels will be barred — only
commercial shipping is permitted. The arrangement is temporary and does not
constitute an immediate reopening; Iran and Oman will negotiate a permanent
route over the next 30–60 days. Iran warned the strait will remain closed unless
its conditions are met, listing demands including an end to all hostilities
(including on the Lebanon front), lifting blockades, a resolution of Yemen, and
full US compliance with prior commitments. Iran rejected US claims it had
cleared sea mines as propaganda and said it would strike US mine-countermeasure
vessels entering the area.
