Iran Proposes Safe Passage for Ships on Oman Side of Hormuz: Report
The proposal could restore normal shipping through the strait and ease disruptions that have trapped hundreds of tankers and 20,000 seafarers.
- Iran has offered to allow ships safe passage through the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz, a source said, though the proposal hinges on Washington meeting Tehran's demands.
- Since the war began on February 28, hundreds of ships and 20,000 seafarers have been trapped in the Gulf, disrupting about 20% of global oil and gas supplies through the 34 km wide strait.
- This proposal marks a shift from Tehran's recent threats to impose tolls and sovereignty on the waterway, which the International Maritime Organization warned would "set a dangerous precedent."
- U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the war "was close to over," though control over the Strait remains a key issue in ongoing negotiations.
- It remains unclear if Tehran will clear mines or permit passage for ships linked to Israel, leaving the waterway's status uncertain as conflict nears potential resolution.
