Iran and Oman hold talks on establishing a jointly managed, temporary shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz and on a related mine-clearing project. Multiple outlets report the discussion takes place between senior officials, including foreign ministers, and is outlined as part of a phased framework.
A joint statement cited by at least one outlet says the proposal includes creating a joint temporary navigational corridor and agreeing to implement a joint project to clear mines in the strait. Technical negotiations for a longer-term or permanent navigation arrangement are expected to continue alongside the temporary measures.
Some reports also reference a wider context of mine clearance in the waterway. Quartz notes that U.S. President Donald Trump has said the U.S. Navy already removed all mines, while the Iran–Oman discussions still include plans for mine-clearing. Other sources focus on the new corridor and the stated intention to pursue both temporary and future permanent arrangements through further talks.
