Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor maritime security mine clearance Iran-Oman relations

Iran and Oman have reached an agreement on a phased framework to restore safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Following discussions between Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Tehran, the two nations agreed to establish a joint temporary maritime corridor.

This temporary corridor is reported to be seven miles wide. The agreement also includes a joint project to clear the strait of mines to ensure safer passage for vessels. The implementation of this corridor effectively closes the southern route that had previously been utilized.

Both nations emphasized that the arrangement is a temporary measure intended to manage the current maritime situation following recent regional conflicts. Technical negotiations will continue to develop a permanent shipping corridor, establish long-term management arrangements, and create mechanisms for information exchange and maritime security services. The parties stressed the importance of respecting sovereign rights and adhering to international law during these processes.
