BlockBeats News, August 25th - A joint statement between Iran and Oman shows: "His Excellency the Foreign Minister of Oman, Mr. Bousaidi, held constructive discussions with the Foreign Minister of Iran, Mr. Araghchi, during his working visit to Iran. The discussions focused on a critical issue highly valued by both countries, which is to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz while upholding their respective sovereignty and sovereign rights."

"Given the recent conflicts and their disastrous consequences leading to a change in the current situation in the strait, the two Foreign Ministers discussed a phased implementation framework. This framework could provide a practical and implementable basis for advancing the situation. The proposed framework includes establishing a temporary joint maritime corridor in the Strait of Hormuz and agreeing to implement a joint project to clear the strait of mines."

"Both sides will continue technical discussions to establish a permanent maritime corridor, the future governance of the strait, and reach an agreement on information exchange for traffic management and related maritime and security service provision mechanisms. In this regard, both sides emphasize the need for a joint dialogue with the countries along the Persian Gulf. At the same time, both sides stress the necessity of compliance with applicable international law and respect for the sovereign rights of coastal states."
