โ€” ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท/๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ NEW: Under the current deal being discussed between Iran and Oman, Iran would control all inbound traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, using a corridor within Iranian waters, while charging for maritime service fees

Outbound traffic would use a route close to Oman, but Iran would still supervise the passage of vessels and retain the right to intervene if necessary. โ€“ New York Times

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท/๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ NEW: According to the Wall Street Journal, Iran has made a few additional demands for opening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian management in partnership with Oman

โ€“ An immediate end to the U.S. naval blockade.

โ€“ The lifting of U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil, petrochemical products, and gas.

โ€“ An explicit acknowledgement of Iranโ€™s right to collect maritime fees.

Besides all this, Iran will have full control over inbound traffic into the Strait of Hormuz, and supervision over outbound traffic through Omani waters.

Personally, I take this with a grain of salt due to not trusting western sources. It seems about accurate to what Iran has been demanding the whole time but western media is known to spin everything they touch.
