Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei announced on August 15 that despite US obstruction, Iran has reached an agreement with Oman on a navigation plan for the Strait of Hormuz waterway. However, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi explicitly stated on the same day that reaching an agreement does not mean the immediate reopening of the strait, as its reopening depends on other conditions that the US must fulfill, and it has not yet been decided whether to resume negotiations with the US.
