Iran has allowed safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz to open - Reuters

Iran may go so far as to allow ships to use the other - Omani - side of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for exporting a fifth of its energy resources, for unimpeded passage from Tehran. A source familiar with such discussions in Iran told Reuters.

According to a Reuters interlocutor, Tehran has conveyed a proposal to Washington during the talks - and is ready to make such a compromise, that is - to provide ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz in Omani territorial waters with security and guarantee non-aggression, but on condition. Iran wants the sides to reach an agreement to prevent a resumption of the conflict, Reuters writes.

The Reuters source did not explain whether Iran would allow all vessels (including those associated with Israel) to pass through the Strait of Hormuz if such an initiative is adopted, and whether it would agree to disarm mines it might have laid in that section of water area.

The White House and Iran's Foreign Ministry did not respond to requests for comment from the agency. A Reuters source in Western security agencies said that a proposal to allow ships to pass unimpeded through Omani territorial waters was in the works, but Washington's reaction to it was still unclear.
