Iran and Oman Reportedly Close to Agreement on Strait of Hormuz Management

Iran and Oman are reportedly nearing a deal for joint management of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route. This agreement could significantly increase Iran's control over maritime traffic, impacting global oil and gas supplies, especially given the strait's recent effective closure. While US President Trump noted progress, Iranian sources indicate key details, including US blockades on Iranian ports, are still under negotiation, with the outcome poised to affect international trade and energy markets.
