Iran could consider allowing ships to sailfreely through the Oman side of the Strait of Hormuz without risk of attack as part of proposals it has offered in negotiations with the United States if a deal is ⁠clinched ⁠to prevent renewed conflict, a source briefed by Tehran said, Reuters reported. 

The war has resulted in the largest-ever disruption of global oil and gas supplies due to Iran's interruption of traffic through the strait, which handles about 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas flows.

Hundreds of tankers and ⁠other ships and 20,000 seafarers have been stuck inside the Gulf since the Iran war began on February 28.
