azatutyun.am Oman and Iran have reached an agreement on safe transit routes in the Strait of Hormuz and will soon present their proposal at the international level, announced the spokesperson of Iran's Foreign Ministry, Baghaei.
«The consultation process between Iran and Oman is progressing successfully. In addition to the agreement on the geographical coordinates of safe bilateral routes in the Strait of Hormuz, both sides have also agreed on how this issue will be presented to the relevant international body,» - quotes Baghaei's words the Iranian IRNA agency:
The Strait of Hormuz is located in the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. However, it is also used for international navigation. According to Articles 37–44 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a special regime of transit passage applies in such straits. This regime means that the status of territorial waters does not disappear, but international ships and aircraft have a special right to pass through the strait, and coastal states cannot simply stop that passage.
The advisor to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohamadreza Naghdin, announced yesterday that Iran will soon close the routes in the Strait of Hormuz that Tehran considers illegal. He specified that this concerns several routes along the coast of Oman.
