New Hormuz security mechanisms developed with Oman: Iran's Foreign Ministry, says US violations block safe waterway

Iran and Oman are developing new mechanisms to monitor shipping safety through the Strait of Hormuz. Discussions between Tehran and Muscat are progressing smoothly and constructively on this matter. These mechanisms will cover shipping, environmental issues, maritime services, and crime combating. Iran states the Strait remains unsafe due to ongoing US violations and aggression. The full opening of the Strait depends on the resolution of broader military situations.
