Iran and Oman have reportedly reached an understanding on the establishment of a temporary shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, in a move aimed at easing restrictions on one of the world’s most important waterways.
The proposed arrangement could pave the way for the reopening of the strategic waterway to commercial shipping, although Tehran says implementation will depend on the United States meeting several demands.
According to Iran’s defence-linked Defa Press, the proposal would establish two-way shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz.
The report said one of the proposed routes for vessels entering the Persian Gulf would pass entirely through Iranian territorial waters.
The Strait of Hormuz is a major global shipping route and plays an important role in the transportation of oil and other energy products from the Persian Gulf to international markets.
However, the proposed corridor is yet to be fully implemented, as Iran maintains that the United States must first meet its stated conditions.
Further negotiations are expected to determine whether the arrangement can lead to the sustained reopening of the waterway to international shipping.
