Iran suggests temporary Strait of Hormuz reopening
Iran proposed to the Sultanate of Oman a temporary arrangement for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which would involve allowing navigation in one direction through Iranian waters, along with a portion of the opposite route also within Iranian territory. The goal was to enhance security and achieve regional stability. Iran rejected Oman's proposal, which suggested dividing the routes equally, considering that this would not dispel security concerns. Iran emphasized that the strait would remain closed if the Iranian proposal was not accepted. Additionally, Iran no longer recognizes the navigation separation system, which is currently invalid due to mine threats, replacing it with its northern and southern routes. Iran also affirmed that it would not allow third parties to participate in mine clearance, reflecting security concerns and sovereignty issues.
