Iran Almost Finalized Draft of New Navigation Regime in Strait of Hormuz

 Iran has nearly completed its draft protocol, which would establish a new navigation regime in the Strait of Hormuz, and plans to begin talks with Oman to develop a joint solution, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said.

"The draft of this protocol is currently in the final stages of preparation. Once we have it ready, we will begin negotiations with Oman so that we can draft a joint protocol," Gharibabadi said.

In peacetime, all vessels that will pass through the Strait of Hormuz must have all the necessary agreements with the coastal states - Iran and Oman, obtaining the necessary permits and licenses in advance, the diplomat added.
