Turkey's foreign minister said the defense agreement will establish a ministerial-level committee and a secretary-general, mirroring NATO's structure.

Iranian foreign minister Araghchi said on Aug. 8 Tehran is negotiating with Oman on a legal and management framework and on defining vessel transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz, and that the two sides are very close to an agreement. Reopening or return to normal transit remains conditional, including on the US making reparations for breaches of a US‑Iran memorandum, Araghchi said. Iran rejects the previous lane system as unsuitable and is pressing for a new navigation mechanism; negotiators are discussing a temporary transit lane to form the basis of a formal route, and military authorities from both countries are consulting existing charts pending final agreement.

伊朗战略研究中心研究员阿里·阿克巴尔·达雷尼表示，伊朗与阿曼即将就霍尔木兹海峡的未来管理达成协议，主要障碍在于美国向阿曼施压，要求其采取与华盛顿更为一致的立场。达雷尼表示，伊朗认为未来对海峡的控制对其国家安全至关重要。此前数月美国方面对伊朗实施打击，伊朗方面称这些袭击是从该地区的基地发起的。达雷尼表示，伊朗与阿曼之间正在进行的谈判进程为美国提供了一个“走出这一泥潭的好机会”，即承认伊朗和阿曼是决定霍尔木兹海峡“未来”的国家。“但霍尔木兹海峡绝无可能回到战前状态，”他继续说道。“该地区的地缘政治已经改变。”
