Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said Iran and Oman have entered the final stage of consultations on adjusting the shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz. He stressed that reaching an agreement on the route would not mean the strait is open again. Its reopening, he added, would still require a series of conditions to be met. Araghchi said the current talks center on replacing the original route with a new one. Experts from both sides are already carrying out technical work, he added. The comments were reported by CCTV News and carried by Odaily Planet Daily. Araghchi's remarks separate the route-adjustment talks from the question of when the strait might actually reopen. His statement emphasizes that a change in the shipping lane is not, by itself, a political decision to reopen the waterway. The foreign minister's comments stop short of specifying what those conditions are, or when the technical work and negotiations might be completed. For now, the official position is that the consultations with Oman are nearing completion, while reopening remains a separate matter.
