Tehran: (RightNow) Iranian state media clarifies that any agreement between Iran and Oman on future shipping arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz does not imply an immediate opening of this maritime passage.

According to international media, Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB reports that negotiations on future maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz are solely between Tehran and Muscat, with no involvement from the United States.

Sources indicate that any potential agreement between Iran and Oman will only concern administrative procedures for shipping, while the decision to reopen or keep the Strait of Hormuz closed remains a separate issue.

The report states that even if Iran and Oman agree on a new maritime route, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States ceases its violations.

It is important to note that the Strait of Hormuz is a crucial maritime route for oil and gas transportation, which is why global energy markets and the maritime industry are closely monitoring these negotiations.
