U.S. anticipates imminent agreement on Strait of Hormuz as regional diplomacy continues

U.S. President Trump voiced optimism regarding a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as Oman continues mediation amidst broader Middle Eastern tensions.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached within days, pointing to progress in talks mediated by Oman. Tehran and Muscat remain in negotiations over maritime shipping lanes, with Iranian officials seeking traffic oversight powers.
Concurrently, Iran warned it would target energy infrastructure across neighboring Gulf states if Washington executes further military strikes. Following the threat, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi initiated emergency discussions with Saudi Arabian counterparts.
In separate developments, an Indian merchant ship sank off the Yemeni coast following a maritime strike. Meanwhile, Lebanese and Israeli delegates opened a seventh round of talks in Rome, as United Nations officials confirmed that approximately 800,000 displaced Lebanese civilians have begun returning to southern regions.
