00:00Iran and Oman have reached an agreement over new entry and exit routes for the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran said
00:08on Saturday.
00:09Gulf nations will be briefed on the proposal at a regional meeting in Muscat on Monday.
00:15Under the agreement, entry to the strait lies entirely within Iranian waters, as does a portion of the exit route,
00:23Iran's semi-official news agency Tasneem reported.
00:27Access to the strait will operate under Iranian arrangements, and the waterway's southern route will be closed once the new
00:35system comes into effect, the agency said.
00:39Iran has set seven conditions for the full reopening of the strait and has conveyed them to the United States.
00:46The vital shipping route has been closed since U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran at the end of February.
