Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced Sunday that his country achieved an understanding with the Sultanate of Oman regarding the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Information suggests Iran and Oman agreed on details for new entry and exit routes in the Strait. It clarified the Strait would not be "reopened" immediately under this understanding, but rather establishes a future basis. However, these understandings involved closing the southern route, despite American insistence on it remaining open, which contradicts President Pezeshkian's prior statements.
