Iran, Oman Deal on Strait of Hormuz Getting Close, Tehran Says The negotiations between Iran and Oman over the Strait of Hormuz have reached a critical juncture.
While some view these talks as a step towards normalizing relations between the two countries, others see them as a temporary fix for the long standing issue of maritime traffic through the strategic waterway.
The proposed mechanism to regulate commercial vessel movement through the strait is being hailed by Iran as a "new security model" that differs significantly from the 60 year old practice.
