Iran and Oman are negotiating a temporary shipping corridor and mine clearance in the blockaded Strait of Hormuz, with talks ongoing but conditions unresolved. The proposed arrangement would route inbound ships through Iranian waters and outbound vessels through Omani waters, with revenue sharing agreed by Iran's Revolutionary Guards but rejected by Washington. Tehran conditions full reopening on US concessions, including lifting sanctions and ending the blockade, while Oman seeks broader Gulf involvement to ensure collective navigation freedom.
