Iran claims there is an understanding with Oman regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz, but they are working on a joint declaration.

Iranian officials declared on August 17 that the expiration of a 60-day deadline established in a memorandum of understanding with the United States is irrelevant. The agreement was intended to facilitate negotiations toward a permanent peace accord between the two nations.

Tehran cited alleged American violations of established commitments as the primary reason for dismissing the significance of the deadline. The statement marks a continued impasse in diplomatic efforts to formalize a long-term resolution.
