Iran and Oman negotiate Hormuz shipping corridor and mine clearance

Iran and Oman are negotiating a temporary shipping corridor and mine clearance in the blockaded Strait of Hormuz, which both nations border, but have yet to agree on reopening conditions. The talks follow a collapsed US-Iran memorandum that left administration to Tehran and Muscat. A framework agreement was discussed Tuesday, with proposals for ships entering Gulf waters via Iran and exiting via Oman, plus revenue sharing. Tehran conditions full reopening on US concessions, including lifting sanctions and ending the war. Washington has threatened Oman over its intermediary role, while experts note slow progress reflects post-war governance negotiations.
