hormuz corridor framework

Iran and Oman finalize Hormuz corridor revenue-sharing framework

Iran and Oman finalized a framework for a temporary Hormuz shipping corridor on Aug 26: inbound traffic through Iranian waters, outbound through Omani waters, with revenue-sharing and a coordinated 30 to 60 day mine-clearing programme, contingent on the US honouring a June MOU including lifting the blockade. This is the concrete exit that justifies retaining Iran's positive skew even as the strikes resumed. The IRGC revenue estimate inside the piece is belligerent self-report and is not used.

hormuz shipping attacks

Ship disabled by attack in Strait of Hormuz

An oil tanker was struck by a projectile off the Omani coast in the Strait of Hormuz on Aug 25 per shipping-monitor reporting, as Iranian attacks on shipping mount while the corridor is negotiated. Oman's mediator standing does not immunize its waters.

strike pause collapse

US launches another round of attacks on Iran

CENTCOM launched a 'heavy wave' of strikes on Iranian command centers, missile and drone factories and a coastal surveillance site overnight July 29-30, ending a roughly five-night pause; IRNA reported 3 killed on Qeshm Island (state figure, direction only). The 10-day mediator proposal was never accepted; Iran conflict held near -9, not floored, on the still-live mediation channels.

Brent tops $94 as Rubio says Iran 'not serious' about a deal

Brent closed at $94.07 July 22 (+20% month-to-date), slid to ~$86 on the Oman mediation July 27-28, then jumped 7.9% to $90.74 July 29 on Trump's threat to 'hit Iran hard', ending the window near $90 after touching $100+ intraday on the Jizan strike. Extreme volatility without a sustained breakout; the Goldman $120 scenario did not materialize in-window.

oman hormuz mechanism

Oman presented regional mechanism for Hormuz to Iran, source says

Oman presented Tehran a Gulf-backed proposal for joint regional management of the Strait of Hormuz with voluntary transit fees on the Malacca model, and FM Araghchi held strait-security talks with Saudi and Omani counterparts; Brent slid to ~$86 on the diplomacy before the July 29 re-escalation. Single-sourced to anonymous officials; the exit path the Iran score protects.
