The countries' foreign ministers jointly say that they have "discussed a framework agreement that can gradually form a feasible basis to move forward." According to the written statement, this includes a corridor through the Strait of Hormuz and an agreement to jointly clear all mines in the strait.

Negotiations will continue to find a “permanent corridor and future administration for the strait” as well as a mechanism for sharing information.

Both sides also emphasize the importance of discussing the issue with all countries that have a coast on the Persian Gulf.

The statement comes just hours after US President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that all mines in the strait had been cleared.
