Iran has proposed negotiations with Oman over a temporary shipping route in the Strait of Hormuz, according to remarks by Iran’s deputy foreign minister cited by Tasnim News Agency on July 29 and carried by BlockBeats. The official said that if an agreement is reached, the temporary route would replace the current north-south channels.
He said Oman had suggested a route split under 50% Iranian control and 50% Omani control, but Tehran rejected that arrangement, saying it would not address Iran’s concerns. Iran’s position, according to the deputy foreign minister, is that the inbound lane should be fully controlled by Iran, while part of the outbound lane should also fall under Iranian control.
The official added that if Oman accepts that framework, the two sides would move to the next stage. He also said Iran would not recognize the southern channel of the Strait of Hormuz “even for one hour.” If Oman does not accept Iran’s proposal, he said, the strait would remain closed, and Iran is prepared to “restart the war.” He added that Iran would not accept any alternative plan.

The official said that if the two sides reach an agreement, the temporary route would replace the current north-south channels.
He said Oman had proposed designing a route under 50% Iranian control and 50% Omani control. Iran rejected that idea, saying the arrangement would not resolve Tehran’s concerns.
According to the deputy foreign minister, Iran’s position is that the inbound sea lane should be fully controlled by Iran, while part of the outbound lane should also be under Iranian control. If Oman accepts that arrangement, he said, the talks would move to the next stage.
He also said Iran would not recognize the southern channel of the Strait of Hormuz, “even for one hour.” If Oman does not accept Iran’s proposal on the strait, he said, the strait will remain closed and Iran is ready to “restart the war.”
The official added that Iran does not recognize the southern channel under any circumstances. Iran’s proposal, he said, is clear: one lane in the strait must be fully controlled by Iran, and part of the other lane must also fall under Iranian control. Iran will not accept any other arrangement.
