Speaking to Sepah News, the source said the primary reason for the delay in the agreement with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz is US interference and Trump's threats. "As long as US interference and threats of military action against Iran continue, the agreement will remain delayed," the source said. The informed source emphasized that Iran will not conclude any agreement under the shadow of threats. The remarks came as diplomatic efforts continue to reach an understanding between Tehran and Muscat on a new shipping framework for the Strait of Hormuz. Reports have also indicated that the negotiations include plans to establish a new "middle corridor" in the Strait of Hormuz to replace the current northern and southern shipping routes.
