Al Iraqy: Oman and Pakistan Discuss Regional Strategies
The article discussed Iran and neighboring countries' efforts, particularly Oman and Pakistan, to ease tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and reopen it safely amid escalating US pressures and Iranian opposition. During negotiations, an agreement was reached to establish a temporary navigational corridor in the strait, involving joint mine-clearing operations, with arrangements to manage the corridor on a permanent basis within 30 to 60 days—conditioned on lifting the US siege and ending regional conflicts. Iran affirmed that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is linked to halting military operations and lifting sanctions, clarifying that the current regime has caused significant harm. The new arrangements aim to facilitate safe passage for ships through Iranian and Omani waters, based on a temporary setup to be replaced later by a permanent agreement. Iran also rejected US claims about de-mining efforts, asserting that the strait remains under Iranian control. Pakistan and Oman’s efforts focus on resuming safe navigation, with ongoing technical negotiations to establish a lasting solution, while Pakistan conveyed a message from Washington concerning the lifting of sanctions and revitalizing the political track.
