The Strait of Hormuz has faced significant restrictions since the U.S. and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28th. Prior to the conflict, approximately 20% of global oil and LNG shipments passed through this waterway. The U.S. and Iran had previously signed an interim understanding in June, but the arrangement for strait passage was disrupted again. Iran and Oman have recently started discussions on a new corridor, navigation management, and service fees.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated on August 9th that Iran and Oman's agreement has reached the "final stage," which will determine the new corridor to be used after the resumption of strait navigation. Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on August 8th that the negotiations are progressing positively and in a constructive atmosphere. Two regional officials had previously informed AP that negotiators had completed a draft agreement, awaiting approval from Iran's Supreme Leader.
A U.S. official mentioned on August 7th that Washington expects Iran and Oman to reach an agreement soon. The U.S. intends to lift the blockade on Iranian ports once the agreement is announced and commercial shipping resumes. The current plan involves Iran managing inbound routes and Oman handling some outbound arrangements. Iran aims for a full reopening of the strait tied to U.S. compensation for military losses and the lifting of related restrictions.
