Trump suggests deal on Strait of Hormuz is near as regional tension persists

United States President Donald Trump announced that an agreement to secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz could be finalized imminently. Despite stating that no direct negotiations with Iran are scheduled, Trump asserted the strategic waterway remains operational, even as maritime traffic declined following a recent attack on a cargo vessel. Concurrently, Washington issued threats of potential military action against Oman over its mediation efforts with Tehran regarding shipping transit.

Iranian officials denied holding direct talks with Washington, insisting the strait will stay closed until American diplomatic posture changes. Tehran also warned it could launch an offensive if diplomatic efforts collapse, maintaining that transit conditions will not return to pre-conflict status.
