伊朗与阿曼就霍木兹海峡协议的谈判已进入最后阶段。伊朗外交部发言人埃斯迈尔·巴格海伊表示,协议目前处于"最后阶段"起草 [1],并指出若美国等"某些方面不阻挠",双方将发布联合声明 [1]。该协议的前提条件可能包括美国解除对伊朗港口的封锁 [1]。霍木兹海峡在全球能源贸易中占据重要地位,战争前全球约五分之一的石油和天然气通过该海峡运输 [1]。
与此同时,中东局部冲突局势继续升级。以色列两名士兵在黎巴嫩南部一场爆炸中丧生,另有四人重伤 [1],这是以色列与真主党6月实施休战以来首次出现阵亡 [1]。此外,苏丹战争对该国文化遗产造成威胁,位于喀土穆北约200公里处的梅罗埃金字塔群面临风险 [1]。该金字塔群由超过200座金字塔组成,建造于公元前800年至公元350年间 [1]。
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated that negotiations with Oman over a Strait of Hormuz agreement are in the "final stage" of drafting [1]. According to Iranian officials, a joint statement could be released if certain parties, including the United States, do not obstruct the process [1]. The potential agreement may hinge on the United States lifting its blockade on Iranian ports [1]. Prior to the conflict, approximately one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas flowed through the Strait of Hormuz [1].
In a separate incident, two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion in southern Lebanon, with four others severely wounded [1]. This marks the first casualty among Israeli forces since a ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect in June [1]. Meanwhile, Sudan's Meroë Pyramids, located roughly 200 kilometers north of Khartoum and comprising over 200 structures built between 800 BCE and 350 CE, face threats from the ongoing conflict in the region [1].
