Oman has established a temporary shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the International Maritime Organization. The route is intended to ensure safe navigation for vessels amid regional tensions.

Ships using the corridor must coordinate with Omani authorities and follow specific navigation coordinates issued by the IMO.

The announcement comes after diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland, which produced a framework for continued negotiations to reduce tensions.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that the Strait of Hormuz would not return to its pre-war status. The strait carries roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies.
