Iran and Oman have reportedly reached a tentative deal to temporarily reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz maritime corridor for 60 days to commercial shipping. Muscat and Tehran have reportedly struck a bilateral understanding aimed at restoring commercial navigation through the Strait of Hormuz for a 60-day window. Local media reports indicate the proposed agreement is awaiting final endorsement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and could be formally declared within days. Under the negotiated terms, ships traversing the vital maritime transit hub will follow a split traffic scheme – vessels entering the waterway will navigate via routes adjacent to the Iranian coast, while outbound ships will pass along Oman's coastline. While the United States and Iran signed an MoU in June targeting a comprehensive cessation of hostilities, including fronts in Lebanon, subsequent regional flare-ups have cast doubt over the remaining rounds of bilateral negotiations intended to solidify a final peace settlement.
