WHAT HAPPENED
Iran announced that it is awaiting approval from its highest political body – the supreme council – to formalize a temporary agreement on the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. official has said the United States expects a deal to be reached in the near future.
According to The Times of Israel, the tentative accord would have Iran and Oman jointly oversee transit through the narrow waterway, and, under the terms, ships would no longer be charged tolls while passing through. The U.S. confirmation underscores the U.S. interest in keeping the strait open for international shipping.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital artery for global oil trade, with about a quarter of the world’s petroleum passing through it each day, making any agreement on its operation of global significance. The agreement would be a significant step toward normalizing maritime traffic amid regional tensions.
