Iran and Oman Agree on Strait of Hormuz Shipping Route Map

Iran and Oman Agree on Strait of Hormuz Shipping Route Map

Iran and Oman are two countries that live near a very important water passage called the Strait of Hormuz.

Many big ships use this waterway to travel from one place to another.

The two countries decided to talk about how ships should move through this area.

After three weeks of talking, they agreed on a map that shows the shipping routes.

But the deal is not completely finished yet.

They still have a few things to work out together.

One of those things is a shared statement that both countries will announce.

A person named Baghaei said the talks went well, even though the United States tried to stop them.

Soon, the final agreement may be ready.
