Al-Mayadeen News Network has reported, citing informed sources, that based on Iran-Oman talks, the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz, which was previously used for ship traffic, will be dismantled. According to this new plan, all oil tankers will be required to coordinate with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy to pass through this waterway.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Tehran: According to this report, most ships have so far followed the route determined by Iran when passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
This development comes at a time when the spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters had previously announced that "no ship without Iranian permission and supervision is allowed to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz" and had called US claims that ships normally pass through this waterway "lies and lies."
It is worth noting that Iran and Oman have held intensive talks in recent months to determine new traffic routes through the Strait of Hormuz. According to these talks, the entry routes to the Strait of Hormuz will be managed under Iranian supervision and the exit routes in coordination with Oman.
However, Iran has repeatedly emphasized that the agreement with Oman alone does not mean the full opening of the Strait of Hormuz and that the United States must accept Tehran's conditions, including lifting the naval blockade, lifting sanctions, and releasing frozen assets.
