Iran and Oman announce temporary Hormuz route framework; Iran says strait stays shut

2026-08-25 · diplomatic

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Iran and Oman had agreed a temporary 7-mile-wide shipping route entering through Iranian territorial waters, while a joint foreign-ministry statement described an 'interim framework' for resuming transits. Gharibabadi said the strait would not fully reopen until the US met its commitments under the June memorandum. On 26 August the IRGC spokesman said the two countries had also agreed their shares of the strait's waters and revenues; the joint statement had not mentioned fees.
