Iran and Oman agree to temporarily reopen Strait of Hormuz

Iran and Oman have reached a temporary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, an Iranian official confirmed Tuesday, with both nations pledging further talks on a permanent solution. The joint statement outlines a temporary navigational corridor and a mine-clearing project, with inbound traffic passing through Iranian territory and outbound traffic split between Iranian and Omani waters. Negotiations will continue over the coming months to establish a permanent route and administration framework. Iran has warned that normal traffic will only resume once the US meets its conditions, including lifting the naval blockade and sanctions. The agreement follows Pakistani mediation efforts, while President Trump claimed the strait is fully de-mined and monitored by the US Space Force.
