Below is a clean English translation of the paragraph in standard wire-service style, with the established Hormuz terminology matched to Xinhua/Reuters usage (Strait of Hormuz, northern route, southern route, commercial vessels, territorial waters, memorandum of understanding).

After the United States and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding in mid-June, the Strait of Hormuz briefly reopened, giving rise to two transit routes: a northern route on the Iranian side controlled by Iran, and a southern route along the Omani side backed by U.S. forces. The two countries then clashed again over the “dual-route” arrangement, U.S. forces carried out fresh airstrikes on Iran, and on July 12 Iran announced that it was closing the Strait of Hormuz once more. Since the closure, Iran and Oman have advanced consultations and negotiations on shipping passage through the strait.

On August 5, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the agreement between Iran and Oman on passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz was near finalization, and that upon its conclusion both the Iran-controlled northern route and the southern route near the Omani side would be closed.

Gharibabadi said a new passage model different from that of the past 60 years would be established in the Strait of Hormuz. Under the newly designated route, the entry into the strait and part of the outbound leg for commercial vessels would pass through Iran’s territorial waters. But the new route is likewise temporary, expected to remain in use for two to four months.
