A senior source told Al Arabiya English on Thursday that Iran and Oman have agreed on a framework to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days, with an announcement possible within days. The source said Iran's Supreme National Security Council still has to approve it. [1]

Wednesday's Axios inbound draft already put inbound hulls in Iranian waters for sixty days. Thursday's Al Arabiya source repeats the split: inbound traffic would use the lane closest to Iran, outbound the lane closest to Oman. Regional sides could join mine clearance. Indirect U.S.-Iran talks, the source said, are in a late stage. [1][2]

Iran International recapped the same source file. CGTN, citing Al Arabiya and Al Hadath, added that no transit fees would apply and that Washington and Tehran would then return to the peace memorandum's navigation paragraph. [2][3] Those are source nouns. They are not an IMO circular.

A 60-day window that still needs SNSC ink is a clock, not a traffic-separation scheme. Until insurers price the lane, Thursday's completed record is a sourced map without a posted tariff.

Deal X will treat the source as a restored scheme. Al Arabiya sold a window that still needs SNSC ink. Those are not the same document.
