New York, August 4 (IANS) Iran is in talks with Oman to set up a “single two-way route” through the Strait of Hormuz to allow ships through the strategic waterway, according to Tehran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei. US President Donald Trump has said that talks were taking place with Iran on reopening the Strait, but Baqaei denied it. The strait has been closed since the February Israel-US attack on Iran, except for occasional spurts in ship traffic. The UN’s International Maritime Organisation (IMO) adopted in 1968 the TSS proposed by Iran and Oman. Those going to the Gulf countries would follow a route near the Iranians side, while those exiting would go on the Oman side, according to the reports.
