Iran said on Thursday (April 2) it was drafting a peacetime protocol that would supervise maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, state media reported, with Tehranโs closure of the vital oil corridor roiling the global economy.
Deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi told Russiaโs Sputnik state media that the protocol would apply after the ongoing war with the United States and Israel had ended, setting basic rules to manage ship movements, the IRNA news agency said.
โWe are currently finalising the drafting of this protocol and, once it has been finalised internally, we will undoubtedly begin negotiations with the Omani side in order to reach a joint protocol,โ he said.- AFP
