Iran and Oman plan temporary Strait of Hormuz corridor as U.S. impasse continues

theglobeandmail.com [$]

Iran and Oman plan temporary corridor through Strait of Hormuz, blockaded since February, with Oman and Oman's foreign minister hopeful of announcing a joint temporary navigational corridor soon. Iran and Oman discussed clearing mines from the strait, which handled one-fifth of global oil and LNG shipments before the war began. Most shipping remains shut down due to separate blockades imposed by Iran and the U.S. U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman and repeated that all mines had been cleared. Diplomatic efforts to reach a peace deal have stalled, and oil prices fell to a two-week low amid renewed mediation efforts.
