US nears a Hormuz deal, and is aiming for an announcement on Wednesday, according to Axios
A potential US-Iran-Oman deal aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz via temporary shipping lanes. While oil prices fell on optimism, finality remains uncertain due to ongoing geopolitical friction.
News detail
All inbound traffic of ships through the strait and into the Gulf would go in a northern lane through Iranian waters. All outbound traffic through the strait and into the Arabian Sea would go in a southern lane through Omani waters, in coordination with Iran. No tolls or fees would be charged during the 60-day period. The parties would work on clearing naval mines from the median lane of the strait within 30 days. After the median lane is cleared, it would be used for inbound and outbound traffic under the terms of a permanent arrangement to be negotiated between Oman and Iran.
