Iran says it has agreed a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, according to a foreign ministry spokesman.
The spokesman did not set out the terms of the arrangement or provide operational details about how the route would work. He said only that the agreement with the Gulf nation was “in the final stages”.
The statement indicates that discussions between Iran and Oman over movement through the Strait of Hormuz have advanced, although the scope, timing and practical impact of the agreement remain unclear from the information released.
No further details have been provided on when the arrangement could be formally completed or announced. The latest known position is that Iran says the agreement has been reached and is nearing finalisation.
