US Expects Iran-Oman Deal Soon to Reopen Strait of Hormuz Amid Regional Security Developments
Progress is reported in talks between Iran and Oman toward an agreement to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, potentially restoring disrupted commercial shipping and oil exports. A U.S. official stated that once a deal ensuring unhindered shipping is announced, the U.S. will lift its blockade of Iranian ports, with actions tied to Iran's commitments. However, Iran's Revolutionary Guard emphasized that reopening depends on the U.S. accepting Iran's conditions and is not directly linked to Iran-Oman negotiations. Meanwhile, regional security dynamics evolve with a new defense pact among Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan.
