Iran vows to retaliate after US expands sanctions, discusses Hormuz corridor with Oman

The United States has expanded economic sanctions against Iran, prompting Tehran to pledge retaliation and express confidence that major trading partners will resist Washington's pressure. Concurrently, Iran and Oman have restarted talks to manage a temporary navigational corridor through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which has seen most shipping shut down since a conflict began in February. An oil tanker was reportedly struck by an unidentified projectile near the strait on Tuesday.
