A spokesperson for Iran's National Security Committee in the Majlis claims the general framework of negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz is nearly finalized, according to Iranian media.
A spokesperson for Iran's National Security Committee in the Majlis stated on Friday afternoon that the general framework of talks between Iran and Oman on the Strait of Hormuz is nearly finalized, according to Iranian media. The development comes approximately 17 hours after The Zioneer reported Thursday night, citing Israeli media, that Oman had agreed to the framework of an agreement with Iran to reopen the strait.
The initial report, attributed to ynet, did not disclose further details on terms or timeline. The new Iranian claim, while providing an official source from Tehran, has not been independently verified and similarly lacks specifics. The corroboration of the story has thus evolved from a single Israeli media report to an Iranian official statement, but independent confirmation remains absent.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran's strategy of targeting the southern shipping route near Oman to enforce protection payments, as well as broader IRGC ambitions to control passage through the strait (Jun 27). If confirmed, the talks with Oman could represent a shift from military coercion toward negotiated arrangements, potentially easing one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints.
The scope, timeline, and provisions of any agreement remain unclear. The claim awaits independent verification, and it is uncertain whether the talks signal a genuine diplomatic breakthrough or a tactical maneuver by Tehran.
