Iran and Oman Agree on Safe Passage Through Strait of Hormuz
Iran and Oman have reached an agreement regarding safe passage routes through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, stated that details of these agreed-upon routes will be communicated to the relevant international body, as reported by Press TV.
The agreement specifies geographical coordinates for these secure routes and outlines the process for their transfer to an international authority.
Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz had largely halted due to escalating tensions between Iran and the United States. This chokepoint is a vital artery for global supply chains of oil, refined products, and liquefied natural gas, and its disruption led to a global rise in fuel prices.
