A senior Iranian official told Reuters that under the emerging plan for the Strait of Hormuz, maritime traffic will pass between Iran and Oman, with Oman notifying Tehran before vessels are permitted to exit the waterway. The official added that Iran is unlikely to accept any alternative to this arrangement. The report was cited Tuesday by Israeli news outlet N12.
The Zioneer reported earlier today on the same Reuters report, detailing Iran's claim that it will gain full control over vessel entry under the plan. The emerging arrangement has been a subject of diplomatic discussion for weeks. In late June, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi outlined a post-war management framework for the strait, including a joint toll system with Oman. In mid-June, Iran and Oman issued a joint declaration reiterating their sovereign rights over the strait.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint for global oil transit. Iran has long challenged its status as international waters, asserting shared sovereignty with Oman. The current talks are part of broader diplomatic efforts following the cessation of hostilities in the region. The precise terms of the memorandum with Oman have not been published, and the plan's acceptance by the international community remains uncertain.
