Iran and Oman discuss temporary shipping lane in Strait of Hormuz talks

in.gr (Greek)

Iran and Oman discussed a temporary shipping lane through the Strait of Hormuz and a demining operation, according to a joint statement. The strategic waterway remains closed by Tehran amid the Middle East war. The foreign ministers of both nations met in Tehran to discuss a "phased framework" including a temporary route and demining plan. Oman's foreign minister expressed hope to announce the arrangement soon, adding any permanent solution must be based on the collapsed June Tehran-Washington protocol. The Strait was closed in late February after US-Israeli attacks on Iran, blocking a fifth of global hydrocarbon traffic. Iran says the strait will remain closed until Washington lifts its blockade, while President Trump claims all mines have been cleared and warned Iran against laying new ones.
