An Iran-Gulf shipping corridor meeting has been rescheduled for September 14 in Oman, following the postponement reported on Sep 13 [2]. The meeting aims to establish an Iran-Oman shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, though no operational details or guarantee of commercial use have been confirmed [2].

Updated AIS monitoring for September 2026 records 266 vessel crossings through the strait, with 144 outbound and 122 inbound. Thirty oil tanker departures carried an estimated 19.3 million barrels — about 7% of the roughly 20 million barrels per day pre-war flow [1]. September 13 was the busiest day with 29 crossings [1].

The insurance-based effective closure persists: war-risk premiums remain prohibitive for most commercial operators [2]. CENTCOM reports redirecting 100 commercial vessels over 60 days and states no ships passed the blockade without US authorization [2]. Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline remains shut after drone attacks [2].

Current oil passage through Hormuz remains unconfirmed from these sources. The Oman meeting may offer a corridor framework but operational details are absent [2].
