U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached shortly amid Iran-Oman negotiations and broader regional talks.

U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached shortly, following ongoing diplomatic talks between Iran and Oman aimed at establishing secure maritime routes. Tehran reportedly seeks operational control over traffic entering and leaving the strategic waterway.

Despite diplomatic progress, regional security risks remain high. Iran warned it would target Gulf energy infrastructure if Washington conducts additional military strikes. Meanwhile, maritime hazards persist, with reports confirming an Indian vessel was sunk near Yemen.

Concurrently, Israeli and Lebanese officials gathered in Rome for a seventh round of negotiations, as the United Nations confirmed that roughly 800,000 displaced citizens have begun returning to southern Lebanon.
