A senior Iranian official said Oman has put forward new proposals for managing the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by ynet. The official's statement follows earlier reporting that Oman floated ideas for the waterway's administration.
A senior Iranian official confirmed that Oman has presented new proposals for the management of the Strait of Hormuz, the Israeli news site ynet reported Tuesday afternoon. The official did not indicate whether Tehran has responded to the proposals.
The Zioneer reported minutes earlier, citing Reuters, that Oman had floated new ideas for the strategic waterway's administration and that Tehran had not yet replied. The two reports appear to draw on the same senior Iranian source, with the latest account adding explicit confirmation that the proposals were formally presented.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime chokepoint through which a significant share of global oil traffic passes. Oman has historically played a mediating role between Iran and Western powers, and the new proposals come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure the waterway and reduce tensions. The development follows months of back-and-forth between Tehran, Muscat, and Washington over the strait's governance and security.
