Iran is nearing an agreement with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, according to an Al Jazeera report cited by Amar Desh Online. The report said an announcement could be made by the end of Thursday. Amar Desh Online published the report on August 6, 2026, at 4:04 p.m.

Citing sources, Al Jazeera said talks had made good progress and both sides were close to announcing an agreement. One or two issues still need to be resolved, but the source said they were not particularly complicated.

The report said a central issue is likely to be the route used by ships and vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz. On Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry said the sides had agreed on that matter and were working toward agreement on the geographical coordinates of new routes for maritime traffic. Other disputed issues concerning Hormuz include tolls that Iran had initially proposed imposing.
