Iranian officials have said that following negotiations, they reached an agreement with Oman on each country’s share of revenue generated from the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Al Jazeera reported on Wednesday, August 26, that Iranian media outlets, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported the development.
According to the report, a spokesperson for the IRGC said agreements had been reached regarding each country’s share of the waters of the strait, as well as Iran and Oman’s respective shares of the revenue generated from it.
The spokesperson added: “About a month ago, we entered into negotiations with Oman and reached results that were accepted by both sides.”
The IRGC spokesperson claimed that the United States has been obstructing negotiations between Oman and Iran, resulting in delays.
This comes as Badr Albusaidi, Oman’s foreign minister, arrived in Tehran on Tuesday to hold consultations with Iranian officials.
However, Iranian officials have said that reaching an agreement with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz does not mean that the strait will be reopened.
