Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran intends to devise a new maritime arrangement ensuring secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz as ceasefire talks with the United States advance. Araqchi framed the proposal as a regional solution that would replace ad hoc closures and selective permissions.
Shipping industry representatives have requested transparent rules on convoy escorts, insurance and communication with naval authorities. Any arrangement would require coordination with Gulf states that depend on uninterrupted crude exports.
Diplomats cautioned that conceptual agreement on navigation principles still leaves details on enforcement and fees unresolved. Parallel discussions address sanctions relief and monitoring of nuclear-related sites.
Araqchi’s statement linked secure navigation to broader diplomatic progress on ending active hostilities. Commercial operators said a durable framework must clarify clearance procedures and liability before charterers resume normal routing through the strait at pre-conflict volumes.
