Oman has confirmed discussions with Iran regarding unimpeded transit through the Strait of Hormuz. These talks occur as an oil tanker carrying Iraqi cargo was observed navigating the crucial waterway.
Separately, Iran has indicated it will permit vessels carrying essential goods to access its ports via the Strait. Reports also suggest Iran has granted clearance for Iraq to utilize the Strait of Hormuz for its maritime traffic.
Both nations are reportedly working on a joint protocol to oversee and manage traffic within the Strait. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
