The "Proposed framework for new corridor, joint mine-clearing, and future management of Hormuz is a case in point," was stated by Araghchi in a post on the social media platform X.

Iran and Oman are establishing a framework for a temporary corridor through which commercial vessels can pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This key commercial waterway has seen its traffic stymied amid the U.S.'s war on Iran. The establishment of a joint temporary navigational corridor through the Strait of Hormuz and an agreement to implement a joint project to clear the Strait of mines are included in the proposed framework.

Preserving their sovereignty and sovereign rights,

 Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, held talks with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, who was visiting Iran for work. The resumption of safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, while preserving their sovereignty and sovereign rights, was said to be of great importance to both countries, according to the Omani Foreign Ministry. Albusaidi wrote on X that his dialogue with Araghchi about the new corridor had been 'constructive'.

‘I am hopeful that we will soon announce a temporary corridor for the Strait of Hormuz, along with practical arrangements to ensure the safe passage of vessels,’ said Badr Albusaidi. ‘Future management of the Strait and a permanent solution will follow in due course, as per Article 5 of the Islamabad Memorandum. We will conduct discussions with regional partners in support of peace, cooperation, stability, and freedom of navigation.”

 A permanent navigational corridor and the future administration of the Strait. 

Negotiations between the two countries would continue technically to reach an agreement on a permanent navigational corridor and the future administration of the Strait. The negotiations would also include a mechanism for sharing information, managing traffic, and providing relevant navigational and security services.

The importance of holding joint discussions with states bordering the Persian Gulf. 

In this context, Oman and Iran emphasised the importance of holding joint discussions with states bordering the Persian Gulf. Araghchi wrote separately that, during talks with guests from Pakistan and Oman, 'regional solutions were emphasised'.The "Proposed framework for new corridor, joint mine-clearing, and future management of Hormuz is a case in point," was stated by Araghchi in a post on social media platform X.

Since the war began in February, gas and energy prices have soared in the months that followed the closure of the strait, which stopped the export of crude oil. The Strait reopened following ceasefires and interim peace deals, including the memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran in June. However, these have all since broken down.
