Iranian state-affiliated Tasnim news agency reported Wednesday that Iran and Oman have agreed on a division of shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz. The brief announcement, without additional details, follows months of diplomatic activity around the strategic waterway. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran-Oman negotiations, including a proposed navigation agreement awaiting parliamentary approval in Tehran and discussions on establishing a joint maritime management center. The Strait of Hormuz has been a flashpoint since Iran began enforcing a blockade in early June, drawing U.S. and Israeli responses.
