A temporary Iran-Oman deal framework has been reached regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the MS Now (formerly MSNBC) US outlet reports.
The report, which cites two unnamed Middle East diplomats with knowledge of the talks, says Oman has agreed to the temporary deal but doesn’t explicitly say that Iran has, although it cites an unnamed Iranian government official as saying it will establish a new Iran-controlled entry route and an Oman-controlled exit route from the waterway, a critical oil trade route.
The Iranian official is cited as saying that under the deal, ships won’t currently be required to pay tolls or fees.
The same official adds that the United States and the United Nations International Maritime Organization will be involved in the deal’s formal announcement, although the timing isn’t yet known.
