Iranian state broadcaster reported on Aug. 26 that Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi said Iran and Oman had reached a new understanding on shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz. Under the temporary arrangement, routes entering the Persian Gulf would pass through Iranian waters, while outbound routes would pass through Omani and Iranian waters. He said warships would not be allowed to pass through the strait and that only commercial vessels could use the route.
Gharibabadi also said the understanding does not mean the Strait of Hormuz would reopen immediately. He described the transit setup as a temporary measure and said Iran and Oman would hold talks within 30 to 60 days to define a new permanent route. He added that the strait would remain closed if Iran’s demands and conditions were not met. According to his remarks, conditions for reopening include a complete end to all fighting, including on the Lebanese front, the lifting of the blockade, a proper resolution to the Yemen issue, and full fulfillment by the United States of commitments he said it had previously failed to meet.
He also called U.S. claims that mines in the Strait of Hormuz had been cleared 「propaganda lies」 and said Iran would strike U.S. minesweepers entering the area.
