The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has affirmed that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has undergone fundamental changes, preventing a return to its prior state. The ministry noted ongoing bilateral discussions with the Sultanate of Oman to establish
a new mechanism and alternative routes for maritime transit, avoiding traditional corridors. On the security front, Tehran downplayed US threats, reiterating its commitment to safeguarding national interests and emphasizing its readiness to respond decisively to any hostile actions. This comes
amid the growing strategic importance of the strait, through which a significant portion of global oil trade passes, amidst rising concerns over the impact of regional tensions on maritime navigation.
