Oman has agreed to the framework of an agreement with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to an Israeli media report. The report, attributed to ynet, did not disclose further details on the terms or timeline.
The Israeli news site ynet reported Thursday night that Oman has agreed to the framework of an agreement with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The brief report offered no additional details on the terms or timeline.
The Zioneer has previously covered the complex and fluctuating negotiations. On August 5, the Associated Press reported that Iran and Oman had completed a draft agreement for a 60-day interim reopening, pending approval from Iran's Supreme Leader. However, later that day, reports emerged that Iran had abandoned the current Omani proposal and appended new demands. That evening, Iran stated that the reopening remained conditional on the United States fulfilling prior commitments, including lifting the naval blockade and releasing frozen funds.
The current report, if confirmed, would represent a new phase in the diplomatic effort. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed since earlier this year, disrupting global oil shipments and drawing international attention.
