Iran plans to close Strait of Hormuz southern route
Iran and Oman have announced the study of establishing a temporary maritime corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, aimed at closing the southern passage used by commercial ships to traverse the strait, amid escalating tensions over freedom of navigation in the region. The proposal includes creating a joint corridor that allows ships to pass through Iranian waters bilaterally, in addition to cooperating on mine clearance, with ongoing negotiations to produce a permanent passage and future management of the strait. Oman did not mention closing the southern passage in its statement, while the United States considers the strait to fall within international waters and opposes Iran's claims to control it, with threats from Trump to ensure freedom of navigation and prevent a potential military escalation.
