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.

At an Aug. 26 State Council Information Office briefing on launching the 15th Five-Year Plan, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology vice minister Xin Guobin said China’s new-energy vehicle (NEV) industry has strengthened international influence — exporting to more than 100 countries and cultivating several highly competitive leaders — but still faces prominent problems. He flagged persistent irrational competition, aggressive design innovations being fitted to vehicles without sufficient testing, and a small number of product-quality and autonomous-driving safety incidents that have drawn public attention. These issues, he said, cannot be ignored and must be tackled with greater force during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
