[Insider: Iran and Oman Reach Understanding, but Strait of Hormuz Will Not Reopen] BlockBeats News, September 13, according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency citing insiders, Iran and Oman have conducted intensive consultations and reached an understanding regarding the navigation routes and transit arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz. The relevant agreement is expected to be officially announced soon. Under the arrangement, the entry route into the Persian Gulf will be entirely within Iranian territorial waters, and part of the exit route from the Persian Gulf will also be within Iranian territorial waters. Vessels will transit according to arrangements made by the Iranian side. The insider emphasized that this understanding does not mean the Strait of Hormuz will reopen. The southern route, which the United States insists on reopening, will remain closed. Additionally, Iran has proposed seven conditions to the U.S. through intermediaries for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Until these conditions are implemented and approved by Iran's highest-level institutions, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed. [Original Link]
