Iran to unveil temporary Strait of Hormuz shipping lane
Iran plans to formally unveil an agreement with Oman on a temporary shipping lane through the Strait of Hormuz, while negotiations on fees and transit details continue. Tehran has indicated the pact will not fully reopen the waterway and that it will retain discretion over which ships may cross. The announcement follows recent strikes on tankers, a vessel hit off Qeshm and Hengam islands that killed one person, and a spike in Brent crude above $105 a barrel that coincided with Saudi Aramco share falls and an East-West pipeline closure. The development adds diplomatic activity, including a rare Abu Dhabi-Tehran meeting, and could pressure global oil flows and regional stability.
