Tehran conditions the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on U.S. concessions, while U.S. President Trump offers mixed signals on the timeline for an agreement.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that a maritime agreement with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz is in its final stages. However, Tehran declared that the waterway will not reopen without key U.S. concessions, including war damage compensation, sanctions relief, and an end to military threats.

U.S. President Donald Trump offered varying assessments, suggesting an agreement "could happen today or tomorrow," while also downplaying the urgency of reopening the passage. Trump described the negotiations as "like a chess game," noting that Washington is monitoring Iran's severe economic inflation and lack of funds.

Meanwhile, United Nations reports indicate nearly 800,000 displaced Lebanese citizens have begun returning to southern Lebanon as talks between Israeli and Lebanese representatives continue in Rome.
