Iran says talks with Oman on Hormuz Strait reach final stage

Iran says its negotiations with Oman on creating a temporary safe shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz are nearing completion, with an agreement expected to be registered with the International Maritime Organization soon. The two countries are also discussing a permanent shipping corridor and measures to improve security in the waterway.

Meanwhile, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain high. Iran has warned South Korea against joining military operations in the area, while the US says it has redirected dozens of commercial vessels and taken action against Iranian oil carriers. The ongoing conflict has disrupted shipping and trade, raising concerns about energy supplies and regional stability. Credit : CGTN
