Iran, Oman Agree Temporary Strait of Hormuz Corridor

Iran and Oman have agreed to open a temporary shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, allowing commercial vessels to pass through the strategic waterway. The move comes as Tehran dismissed U.S. claims that mines in the area had been cleared. Iran warned that the strait could remain closed unless its conditions are met. The temporary corridor is meant to ease transit for cargo ships, but the situation remains uncertain. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital route for global oil shipments. Any disruption there can affect energy prices worldwide.
