A proposed deal between Iran and Oman would give Tehran control over ships entering the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, a senior Iranian source and two regional officials told Reuters on Wednesday (August 5), in one of the biggest concessions yet to Iran. Despite the apparent step towards yielding to Iranian demands, the sources pushed back against assertions by U.S. President Donald Trump that a deal reopening the strait was imminent. Iran later reported "significant progress" in the talks with Oman over transit routes, saying both inward and outward journeys would pass through Iranian waters. U.S. officials have repeatedly said that they would never accept any arrangement that lets Iran control access to the world's most important trade route for energy supplies.
