US expects deal to open Strait of Hormuz soon, official confirms
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that progress had been made in talks and that the US was "hoping" for an agreement.
A US official confirmed Friday that progress has been made in negotiations with Iran and Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz, with a deal expected soon. The agreement would involve Iran's Supreme National Security Council approving a joint oversight of the strait with Oman. The US official stated, "There is progress between Oman and Iran on the Strait, and we expect a deal soon." Upon the announcement of a deal to restore unimpeded commercial shipping, the United States will lift its blockade of Iranian ports. US actions will remain performance-based, contingent on Iran's adherence to its commitments.
