Tehran Finalizing Deal with Oman for Temporary, Safe Route Through Strait of Hormuz
Iran said the route will likely be registered with the International Maritime Organization in coming days as shipping tensions rise after wartime clashes.
- On Monday, Iran announced it is finalizing an agreement with Oman over a "temporary, safe route" through the Strait of Hormuz, which will likely be registered with the International Maritime Organization in the coming days.
- Following the war that began in late February when The United States and Israel attacked Iran, Tehran attempted to close the Strait, vital to global energy shipments, to inflict economic pain on Washington.
- The IAEA board first found Iran in noncompliance with Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty obligations in June 2025; Britain, France, Germany, and The United States have drafted a resolution seeking Security Council referral.
- Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei called the draft resolution a sign of "bad faith," while The United States maintains a naval blockade on Iranian ports and escorts tankers through the Strait despite Iranian attempts to target them.
- Iran claims control over the Strait and has opposed a secondary N-backed route off the coast of Oman, though Tehran has been discussing the temporary safe route with Muscat for some time.
