Iran said on Tuesday that it has reached a new understanding with Oman allowing commercial vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz, while U.S. President Donald Trump declared that all mines in the strait's international waters had been removed or detonated.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi said on Tuesday that under the understanding, the inbound route to the Persian Gulf would pass through Iranian waters, while the outbound route would pass through both Iranian and Omani waters.

No military vessels will be permitted, and only commercial ships will be allowed to transit, he added.

Gharibabadi stressed that the understanding reached between Iran and Oman does not mean an immediate reopening of the strait, and that the route would be temporary.

He said Iran and Oman would negotiate a new permanent route within 30 to 60 days, and warned that the strait will remain closed if Iran's conditions are not met.

Gharibabadi also dismissed the U.S. claims about mine-clearing operations in the strait as propaganda and lies, warning that any U.S. minesweepers entering the region would be targeted.

Trump said earlier on Tuesday that all mines in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz have been removed or detonated, warning that any vessel placing new mines would be destroyed.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that there is a zero tolerance policy on mine placement in full force and effect.

Iran and Oman on Tuesday exchanged views on a phased framework that includes the establishment of a temporary joint shipping corridor in the Strait of Hormuz and an agreement to implement a joint project to demine the waterway, according to a joint statement issued by the two countries' foreign ministries.

The statement was issued at the end of a visit by Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi to Tehran, where he met his Iranian counterpart Seyed Abbas Araghchi, according to Iran's Foreign Ministry.
