Iran's Fars News Agency, citing informed sources, reported that the northern and southern shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz will be cancelled, with all transit shifted to a central corridor. Iran would manage the entrance, while Iran and Oman would jointly manage the exit, according to the report relayed by ChainCatcher. No timeline or further operational details were included in the report. The report is based on unnamed sources and does not cite official statements from Iranian or Omani authorities. The change, if carried out, would reroute all traffic through the corridor and alter the current navigation setup in the strait. ChainCatcher distributed the alert on its 7x24 news feed, reproducing the same details: cancellation of the two existing lanes, a single central corridor, Iranian control at the entrance, and joint Iranian-Omani control at the exit. The original report was published by Fars, an Iranian news outlet.

Iran's Fars News Agency, citing informed sources, said the northern and southern shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz will be removed. All traffic would then shift to a single central corridor, with Iran managing the entrance and Iran and Oman jointly managing the exit, according to the report.

ChainCatcher relayed the alert on its 7x24 news feed. The report gave no timeline, and no official statement from Iranian or Omani authorities was cited.

The arrangement, as described, would consolidate crossings through the strait into one corridor and split control of the passage between the two countries.
