Strait of Hormuz Deal in Sight | Dublin News

The Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping chokepoint, reopened after a February blockade sparked by U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran — leaving hundreds of vessels stranded and disrupting energy flows. Now, Iran and Oman are nearing a 60-day temporary agreement: inbound ships would navigate through Iranian waters northward, while outbound vessels use Omani waters southward, under Iranian coordination. This marks a major shift, granting Iran unprecedented control over transit — something the U.S. has long opposed. The deal includes no tolls for the first 60 days and plans to clear naval mines from the center of the strait, paving the way for full reopening. While an announcement may be imminent, key details remain unresolved — making this a critical development to watch as the world’s energy arteries inch toward stability.
