Iran and Oman have finalized maritime arrangements to secure the strategic Strait of Hormuz after intense diplomatic talks.
The crucial agreement implements a 60-day interim framework designed to stabilize shipping through the vital global energy chokepoint.
Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi explicitly confirmed that the new shipping protocols will not impose any transit fees.
Muscat reaffirmed its historical duty to defend international maritime law and guarantee unhindered access through the waterway.
The collaborative breakthrough follows a major 14-point diplomatic understanding mediated by Pakistan between Iran and the United States.
The comprehensive deal entered into force on June 18 under signatures from Presidents Masoud Pezeshkian and Donald Trump.
The sweeping accord effectively halted regional hostilities across multiple fronts, including Lebanon, after months of high-stakes conflict.
Tensions previously spiked in February following aggressive United States and Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian infrastructure and military sites.
Those initial bombardments triggered severe Iranian retaliatory strikes against Israel and regional bases housing American defense assets.
The new maritime pact successfully lifts the restrictive United States naval blockade that had paralyzed Iranian waters.
Both nations pledged continued expert-level engagement to maintain secure passage through the corridor during this transitional phase.
