Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announced on Thursday that his country is working on a protocol for safe maritime passage through the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, including rules for fees.
Speaking to Sputnik, Gharibabadi noted that the future regulation addresses the period after the conflict between Iran on one side, and the United States and Israel on the other. He also insisted that the strait operated normally at the beginning of the crisis, but that the US and Israel's escalation of their operation led to the ongoing disruption.
Since the conflict began, Iran has allowed several vessels from countries it considers friendly to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump claimed that Washington could agree to a ceasefire with Iran if it opened the strait. However, Tehran insisted that it will not do so until given security guarantees.
