Tehran: Iran announced on Wednesday that it is in the "final stage" of drafting an agreement with Oman regarding the management of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, explicitly stating that the United States is not part of these negotiations. This development comes despite recent claims by former US President Donald Trump, who suggested that a deal to reopen the crucial waterway was imminent.
According to France24.com, the Iranian government has emphasized its independent stance by excluding US participation in the talks, underscoring the regional nature of the agreement with Oman. The Strait of Hormuz remains a significant passage for global oil shipments, and any arrangements concerning its management are closely monitored by the international community. Iran's move to solidify a deal with Oman independently marks a pivotal moment in regional diplomacy, especially given the geopolitical tensions surrounding the waterway.
