Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): A US official told Reuters that progress has been made in talks between Oman and Iran on the Strait of Hormuz and that an agreement is expected to be reached soon.
The report claims that the US will lift the blockade of Iranian ports as soon as an agreement is announced to resume unhindered commercial shipping.
Reuters has a history of creating a buzz about Iran. The British media outlet has sometimes tried to place the cost of any disagreement on Iran by highlighting the alleged privileges of the other side.
Yesterday, an informed source, responding to Fars Iran about the details of the negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz, announced: The framework of the negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz is for the practical implementation of Iranian arrangements for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
This Iranian official said: According to the general terms, the entry to the Strait of Hormuz is planned to be carried out through the northern corridor of the Strait of Hormuz near the Iranian coast, and the exit of ships will be through the southern corridor near the Oman coast.
He added: After the end of the specified deadline, the passage of ships from both the northern and southern corridors will be stopped and all traffic will take place through the middle corridor, with the difference that the entry of ships will be managed by Iran and the exit will be jointly managed by Iran and Oman.
In response to the question of the tolls set in the Strait of Hormuz, this informed official said: The payment of ships to pass through the strait will be determined in the form of the price of various services.
