Official US sources have confirmed progress in diplomatic talks aimed at ending the Strait of Hormuz crisis, with expectations of reaching an agreement in the short term. The anticipated agreement, supported by regional mediation, includes a ceasefire lasting between 30
and 60 days, coinciding with the lifting of the blockade on ports and the resumption of commercial shipping. While the parties await the final ratification of the agreement, the Iranian leadership affirmed its commitment to its pledges provided the other
party complies, denying having made any unilateral concessions. Reports indicate that the agreement will establish new navigational routes in the Gulf subject to joint coordination and supervision mechanisms to ensure the security and smooth flow of maritime trade.
