Iran and Oman have agreed on a temporary shipping lane framework in the Strait of Hormuz, including a de-mining operation, following weeks of difficult negotiations. The joint proposal, presented Tuesday, aims to facilitate navigation through a temporary route and clear mines, with talks continuing toward a permanent agreement on managing the strategic waterway. Oman's foreign minister expressed optimism after visiting Tehran, while Qatar has supported the initiative. The strait remains a key point in stalled Iran-US negotiations, with President Trump claiming all mines have been cleared.
