What happened

In a deal with Oman, Iran has agreed to open a route in the Strait of Hormuz that will be operational for two to four months, said Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, according to IRNA news agency.

Why it matters

"This route, which is currently being coordinated with Oman, is considered a temporary route that will be up and running for two to four months.

Common ground

However, in the current negotiations with Oman, the issue is being addressed in such a way that this temporary route may remain in effect for a longer period," he said.
