Iran offers route out of Hormuz
Follow spoken words in real time.
Iran has suggested letting ships leave the Gulf through the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz without attack. This idea is part of talks with the United States and would happen only if a larger agreement is made. The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for world oil and natural gas, so many governments and traders are watching closely.
Since the war began, hundreds of ships and thousands of workers have been stuck in the Gulf. Even after a ceasefire started, control of the strait has been a main problem in negotiations. Iran's new proposal is softer than previous ideas and would return to an established system.
However, there are still many uncertainties. It is not clear if Iran will remove mines or if ships linked to Israel can pass safely. The United States and Iran have not confirmed the plan publicly. The situation is not fully resolved, and the future of Hormuz will depend on how the talks continue.
