Iran and Oman Agree to Reopen Strait of Hormuz for 60 Days Without Transit Fees

Saudi news channel Al-Hadath reported that Iran and Oman have reached a preliminary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical and sensitive maritime route. The deal, which still requires approval from Iran's Supreme National Security Council, is expected to last for 60 days. During this period, maritime traffic through the strait will resume after a phase of regional tension and uncertainty.

According to the report, the agreement does not include any transit or service fees for ships passing through the strait. Regional actors may also participate in clearing mines and conducting other technical procedures necessary to restore safe navigation. Following the council's approval, the parties plan to revisit understandings with Islamabad and activate Article 5 as part of efforts to regulate the strait's reopening and prevent further escalation in the Gulf region.
