Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announced on state television on Tuesday that Iran and Oman have reached an agreement on a temporary maritime route in the Strait of Hormuz. The entrance to this route will begin in Iranian territorial waters, and part of the exit route will also pass through Iranian territorial waters, with a channel width of 7 miles (approximately 11.3 kilometers). However, Gharibabadi warned that the waterway would not be fully reopened unless the United States fulfills its commitments under the interim peace agreement signed in June (which has since expired). A spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard added that both sides have agreed on the share of the strait's waters and revenue distribution. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed to shipping since the U.S. attacked Tehran on February 28, plunging global energy markets into crisis. The strait is the only sea passage connecting the Persian Gulf to the open sea and carries one-fifth of the world's oil and gas supplies.
