Iran and Oman are discussing a temporary reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, but reports differ over the terms. Livemint, citing Iran’s Fars news agency, says Tehran’s draft would bar US and Israeli ships, seek compensation from hostile countries and place Iran in charge of vessel entry. The report says the text is under parliamentary review. Mathrubhumi reports a 60-day reopening plan with split routes, no transit fees and joint demining work, pending approval from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The US insists on unrestricted passage without tolls or permissions. Oil prices rose as traders feared the reported arrangement would not restore normal energy shipments. A UK Navy report of two explosions heard by a tanker and renewed Houthi activity added to shipping concerns. Any agreement would also require approval from Iran’s Supreme Leader, according to Livemint.
