Iran claims possibility of ``agreement within days'' with Oman on Strait of Hormuz route

[Cairo Current Affairs] At a press conference on the 7th, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson claimed that an agreement could be reached with Oman on the other side "within the next few days" regarding shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transportation hub. National television reported. Iran is seeking to tighten its control over the strait, but the United States is pushing back.

The spokesperson reiterated his view that negotiations are nearing the final stage. He then put a check on the United States, saying that unless there is interference from "some malicious forces," "an agreement on a provisional route will be registered with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) within the next few days."

Iran's National Assembly Speaker Ghalibaf, who is leading negotiations with the US, pointed out on X (formerly Twitter) that oil and gas facilities in the Middle East can be easily attacked. The same applies to facilities associated with American companies, he said, warning of retaliation, saying that if the United States attacks Iranian oil and gas facilities, "the targets will be directed at us."
