As part of the de-escalation, Oman has drafted a proposal to manage traffic in the Strait of Hormuz through two separately controlled routes, according to a report by CNN. Under the agreement, which is yet to be finalized, both corridors would remain open. The Southern Corridor, through Omani territorial waters, would allow free navigation under pre-war conditions. Vessels transiting the Northern Corridor, through Iranian territorial waters, would require prior approval from Iran, although no tolls would be imposed under the deal.
