Iran is reportedly engaged in discussions with Oman regarding the establishment of a safe, temporary passage through the Strait of Hormuz. According to CNN, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed on Monday that negotiations are underway with Oman to define such a passage. Baghaei stated that the goal of these discussions is to determine a specific route in consultation with Oman as quickly as possible.
He emphasized that any arrangement established would be temporary and designed to ensure the safety of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The spokesperson also clarified that these talks are exclusively with Oman, noting that Iran is not negotiating with the United States. The reports regarding the talks come amid differing statements from international figures.
Previously, US President Donald Trump had indicated that discussions with Iran would resume on the Monday following the announcement of the talks with Oman. The focus of the current discussions, as reported by the Iranian official, remains on creating a temporary and mutually agreed-upon route in collaboration with Oman to mitigate navigational risks in the vital waterway.
