# Iran and Oman Agree Route Coordinates for Hormuz Shipping 2026-08-06T14:14:15+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Iran and Oman have agreed the geographic coordinates for a proposed shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday. A joint announcement is being finalised, provided no third parties interfere. The ministry cautioned that the understanding alone would not guarantee security in the waterway. The route could allow energy shipments to resume, but Iran’s deputy foreign minister described it as a temporary corridor lasting two to four months, with much traffic passing through Iranian waters. The Hindu reports that millions of barrels have continued crossing despite disruptions. Brent crude traded near $79 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate stood around $75. ## Coverage - thehindubusinessline.com - timesnownews.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - hindustantimes.com - thehindu.com Tags: crude prices, Iran-Oman talks, Strait of Hormuz, UAE oil exports Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/uae-maintains-crude-exports-as-hormuz-traffic-faces-disruption/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
