Summary
About a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas passed through the strait before the war began. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he met with his counterpart in Oman to discuss "appropriate mechanisms for ensuring the safe passage of ships." The world for decades has considered the strait an international waterway. The U.S. urges mariners to transit on a southern route through Oman's territorial waters.
Furthermore, Trump has declared the ceasefire over but said the U.S. would continue negotiations. Around a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas trade normally passes through the waterway, making any disruption a major concern for energy markets. Iranian officials have repeatedly said there will be no return to the pre-war system of unrestricted navigation.
In addition, Oman's state news agency later said that Omani and Iranian negotiators would continue talks "at the technical and political levels". The strait, the IRGC said, was closed "until further notice" and until "the end of US interference in this region".
