Iran's Foreign Ministry announced that it has reached an agreement with Oman on the geographical characteristics of a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz following two months of negotiations.
In a statement, the ministry said the talks focused on establishing a safe maritime route to facilitate the secure passage of commercial vessels through the strategic waterway and help maintain the stability of regional navigation.
The ministry added that discussions with Oman have progressed "professionally" and continue to move forward positively, with the aim of safeguarding one of the region's most vital maritime corridors.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's busiest oil transit chokepoints, carrying a significant share of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.
The announcement comes amid heightened regional tensions and continued international attention on maritime security in the Gulf.
