Iran's Fars news agency reports that Tehran has decided to regulate maritime traffic through the Persian Gulf in coordination with Oman. The announcement comes alongside a separate Iranian statement that a 'permanent end to the war, including in Lebanon, will be declared tonight.'
Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported at 00:57 Jerusalem that Tehran has decided to regulate maritime traffic through the Persian Gulf in coordination with Oman. The announcement follows a pattern of Iranian signaling on regional arrangements — as The Zioneer reported at 00:56, an Iranian deputy foreign minister stated that an 'immediate and permanent end of the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, from tonight' would be declared. The Fars report, citing Iranian sources, provides no additional details on the scope or timeline of the maritime arrangement. A separate Iranian statement, also carried by Fars and timed with the same 00:57 timestamp, asserted that 'a permanent end to the war, also in Lebanon, will be declared tonight.' The two announcements appear coordinated and may be part of a broader Iranian diplomatic push timed to the overnight hour. Neither report has been independently verified by non-Iranian sources, and it remains unclear whether the declared permanent end to hostilities reflects a binding agreement or a unilateral Iranian position.
