The Strait of Hormuz may be heading toward one of its biggest changes in decades.
Iran says it has reached an early agreement with Oman to temporarily guide ships through routes inside Iranian waters instead of the usual shipping lanes. If the plan moves forward, it would reshape how traffic flows through one of the world's most important waterways.
Nothing is final yet. Iran says a full reopening still depends on how the U.S. responds, and American officials expect the situation to become clearer within the next 48 hours.
For now, shipping activity is still far from normal. That is why markets are paying close attention. A large portion of the world's oil passes through this narrow passage, so even small changes can affect energy prices, investor sentiment, and global trade.
The next couple of days could tell us whether this is the beginning of a real shift or just another step in an ongoing standoff.
