Negotiations with Oman over Strait of Hormuz in 'Final Stages,' Iranian FM Says

Iran says the route would respect both sides' sovereign rights as mediators try to revive a June memorandum on shipping access.

  • Iran announced on Aug 2 it is nearing a deal with Oman regarding a new route through the Strait of Hormuz, with Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stating the agreement respects sovereign rights and safeguards national interests.
  • Since Feb 28, Israel and Western nations have engaged in conflict with Iran, which President Donald Trump described as necessary to address its nuclear program while threatening to hit Iran "very hard."
  • Trump stated on Aug 1 that Israel and Western nations agreed to hold off on new strikes after Iran and Middle Eastern Countries requested a pause, saying the "perimeter" of a deal was there.
  • Iranian lawmaker Hassan Ghashghavi said mediators are reviving the Islamabad memorandum, though Iranian media denied that Tehran requested Trump to halt strikes, citing the Strait of Hormuz as the central issue.
  • Trump demanded an "Immediate, Complete and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT" and an end to Iran's nuclear threat, conditions that remain central to stalled diplomatic efforts over maritime access.
