Iran and Oman Discuss Temporary Hormuz Corridor as Impasse with US Drags On

On Tuesday, Oman Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi met Abbas Araghchi in Tehran to discuss a proposed temporary transit corridor and mine-clearing project for the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait became a flashpoint early in the Middle East war, prompting the two countries to seek a transit plan as outlined in a June US-Iran memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict.
In their joint statement, the diplomats "discussed a phased framework that could provide a practical and implementable basis for moving forward," while affirming the importance of holding joint discussions with the Gulf littoral states.
Albusaidi said he hopes to "soon announce" the temporary corridor, though officials in Iran insisted the Strait will not fully reopen until Washington lifts its naval blockade, drops oil sanctions, and unfreezes assets.
President Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that "all mines have been removed and/or detonated from within the International Waters of the Strait of Hormuz," adding any new mines will be systematically destroyed.
