Tehran and Muscat seek temporary shipping corridor in Strait of Hormuz

Iran and Oman are negotiating a framework for a temporary corridor to resume shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blockaded since late February. The two countries have discussed mine clearance and future administration of the waterway, but key issues such as jurisdiction and costs remain unresolved. A joint statement from their foreign ministries indicates talks are ongoing, though no final agreement has been announced.
