Iran live updates: Iran says framework of Oman agreement finalized

Iranian officials have publicly said the deal reached with Oman would establish new shipping routes, allowing commercial vessels to enter the Persian Gulf though an Iranian-controlled route, and exit through an outbound lane controlled by Oman.

A U.S. official familiar with the negotiations confirmed the temporary route was discussed and said it would be limited to a period of 60 days, during which negotiators would work on a long-term deal to fully open the strait and continue hashing out a nuclear deal.

This arrangement would seemingly formalize Iranian control of the waterway.

The official cautioned that nothing is final until it is publicly announced.

Omani officials have proposed a Gulf-backed plan allowing Iran to receive voluntary contributions modeled after Asia's Strait of Malacca, to cover costs for security and environmental protection.

A source familiar with the proposal said voluntary payments could be on the table in the interim agreement.

The U.S. has maintained that the strait is an international waterway and opposes any fees and tolls.

Another U.S. official said the Trump administration wants total freedom of commercial navigation through the waterway without Iranian tolls or any arrangement requiring ships to obtain Tehran’s approval before transiting the strait.

“Any temporary routes will be without any impediments -- meaning no approvals or permissions and no tolls or charges,” a U.S. official told ABC News. “The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway, and no party controls the lanes or the ability to transit through them."

It's unclear at this point when a potential deal will be announced.

Iranian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei pushed back on President Donald Trump's claims of victory over Iran on Friday.

"Before you claim the 'spoils of war', you actually have to win the war—not get stuck in a strait, fall short of your stated (malign) objectives, run low on weapons, and lose credibility along the way. So far, the “spoils of Iran” amount to nothing more than a paper trophy for a victory that shows no sign of materializing," Baqaei said in a post on X.

The "general framework" of the agreement between Iran and Oman has been finalized, Hassan Ghashghavi, the spokesman of Iranian parliament's national security commission, said on Friday, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency.

"The final text and details will be announced soon," Ghashghavi said.

However, he added that implementation of the agreement is "subject to final approval at the highest decision-making levels."

As one Iranian official says that a deal between Iran and Oman on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is close, a U.S. official said any of the temporary routes agreed to will be "without any impediments" like tolls.

"Any temporary routes will be without any impediments — meaning no approvals or permissions and no tolls or charges. The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway and no party controls the lanes or the ability to transit through them," a U.S. official said in a statement about the talks.
