TREE NEWS update: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei said Wednesday that Tehran will deliver its response to the US proposal through intermediaries, adding that Iran has set out clear conditions for ending the war. He said Iran and Oman have also agreed on a safe transit route through the Strait of Hormuz and on how to notify relevant international bodies of the route.
Iran to Reply to US Proposal via Intermediaries, Reaches Deal with Oman on Hormuz Shipping Lane
The Hormuz transit arrangement with Oman is the more consequential signal: it suggests Tehran is willing to formalize maritime de-escalation even while its response to Washington is routed through intermediaries rather than direct channels. That split matters for shipping and energy flows through the strait, where any formalized notification mechanism can reduce ambiguity for insurers and carriers. Whether the US proposal and Iran's stated conditions converge remains the open question, and the intermediary channel keeps the two tracks decoupled for now.
