Iran-Oman Agreement on the Strait of Hormuz
August 5, 2026
Iran and Oman have reached an agreement on the geographical coordinates of the marine route in the Strait of Hormuz. The joint announcement of the two countries is in the final stages, barring any third-party interventions. However, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that this agreement alone will not ensure safety in the Strait due to U.S. actions. Negotiations have been ongoing for two months, focusing on important details regarding ship control. Some sources emphasize that Gulf countries insist on local oversight for ship controls.
