The foreign ministers of Iran and Oman discussed a framework agreement for a "temporary navigation corridor" in the Strait of Hormuz.

The foreign ministers of Iran, Abbas Araghchi, and Oman, Badr al-Busaidi, agreed on Tuesday on a framework agreement to establish a temporary navigation corridor in the Strait of Hormuz, essential for global trade.

This initiative aims to regulate navigation through the strait, which has been affected by blockades imposed by Tehran, in the context of tensions in the Middle East. Al-Busaidi expressed hope to announce details about the new corridor and the necessary safety measures soon.

The agreement also provides for a joint project to clear the strait of mines, and negotiations will continue to establish a permanent corridor and a navigation management mechanism. The two countries emphasize the importance of dialogue with other states bordering the Persian Gulf.

This discussion takes place against the backdrop of statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed that mines in the international waters of the strait have been destroyed.
