Iran negotiates with Oman for a secure passage in the Strait of Hormuz

Iran is finalizing an agreement with Oman to establish a 'temporary and secure route' in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for global oil and gas transport. According to Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, this agreement could be registered with the International Maritime Organization in the coming days. The situation has become more sensitive since the onset of the war in February, with U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran, which has attempted to close the strait to exert economic pressure on Washington.
