Its main objective is to restore the ceasefire between the United States and Iran and resume negotiations on a new nuclear agreement. The source said the draft agreement envisions a 60-day temporary arrangement between Oman and Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz, with the possibility of extending the agreement beyond that period. Essentially, it serves as an energy artery for countries in Asia, Europe, and even the United States. The strait separates Iran from Oman, and in some areas, the width of the shipping channel is only two miles on each side.
