Overview
Iran and Oman are discussing a temporary, controlled navigation corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran and Qatar have also held talks. The diplomatic push coincides with a modest increase in vessel traffic, but reports of tanker strikes, Iranian restrictions and Tehran’s warning that an understanding with Oman does not mean an immediate reopening indicate that access remains conditional and contested.
