Iran's deputy foreign minister said a potential traffic agreement with Oman would route commercial ships through designated waters while excluding military vessels from the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran described temporary commercial lanes and a 30-to-60-day window for permanent arrangements, but Washington opposes elements of the proposal. Iran said the proposed plan would prohibit military vessels from using the strait. Commercial inbound traffic would use Iranian waters under the described arrangement.
Outbound traffic would use both Iranian and Omani waters. Iran called the routes temporary. The parties would have thirty to sixty days to discuss a permanent plan. These reported details define the immediate scale, timing and institutions involved without treating preliminary statements as final findings.
The proposal emerged after months of disruption to a waterway central to oil and gas exports. Oman has served as an intermediary in regional disputes. The U.S. administration has publicly objected to parts of the arrangement. The chronology separates the new development from older background and keeps official descriptions attached to the officials or organizations that made them.
The full text was not public, and neither implementation rules nor a final signature had been confirmed. That uncertainty remains part of the report because later court orders, technical examinations, audited data, investigative records or field access could change the account.
The checked reporting on Iran Says an Oman Shipping Plan Would Bar Military Vessels From Hormuz identifies two concrete follow-up points: a published Iran-Oman agreement and shipping-industry confirmation that commercial transits resume safely. Neither had produced a later attributable outcome before this edition's research cutoff.
The source record also distinguishes the confirmed event—Iran said the proposed plan would prohibit military vessels from using the strait.—from the reported consequence—Iran called the routes temporary.—and from the unresolved boundary: The full text was not public, and neither implementation rules nor a final signature had been confirmed. This avoids assigning motive, cause or certainty beyond the cited reporting.
Associated Press supplied the dated reporting and direct statements used for Iran Says an Oman Shipping Plan Would Bar Military Vessels From Hormuz. Where a government, company, military, hospital or advocacy participant described its own conduct, this article treats that description as an attributed claim rather than independent verification.
