Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated on Wednesday that the proposed new shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz is temporary in nature, though it could remain in effect for two to four months or longer.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran's evolving stance, including a temporary plan with Oman that would grant Iran full control over vessel entry (Aug 4), and Gharibabadi's own earlier comment that the strait's reopening was only partial (June 19). Regional diplomats have also indicated progress toward a temporary solution (July 28).
The duration estimate of 2–4 months suggests Tehran is factoring the strait's status into medium-term planning, though the arrangement remains subject to ongoing negotiations with Oman and international stakeholders. No further details on the route's operational parameters were provided in the statement.
