Iranian official: Hormuz stays closed without Oman's approval
The Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless Oman agrees to the Iranian proposal for a temporary transit corridor. He explained that the proposal entails dividing the corridor equally between Iranian waters and Omani waters, whereas Tehran rejected the Omani proposal, which would partition the corridor between the territorial waters of both countries. He also confirmed that Iran will organize future steps to open the strait and ensure safe passage for vessels. Iran rejected the Omani southern passage, considering it a violation of a memorandum of understanding signed with Pakistan. Additionally, Iran accused the United States and Oman of opening another passage within Omani waters, which is considered a breach of the memorandum.
