## Catalyst Analysis: Iran-Oman Shipping Corridor Agreement Iran stated Monday it is preparing to sign an agreement with Oman to create a new shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran would manage in coordination with Oman. This initiative comes amid increased maritime tensions, with Iranian forces having targeted commercial vessels and traffic through the strait falling to its lowest level since May, according to Reuters.
## Impact on Energy Markets
### Winners, Losers & Uncertainty The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil trade. The potential for Iran to exert greater control over shipping traffic introduces uncertainty into oil supply routes. Brent crude was trading above $97 per barrel Monday morning. Goldman Sachs has warned that a further escalation of attacks on commercial shipping could push crude prices as high as $120 per barrel.
### Risk Watch — Legal & Timeline The International Maritime Organization has not yet officially received the proposal, according to Lloyd's List. The precise timeline for implementation and the full scope of Iranian control remain subject to negotiation and potential international response.
