> Iran is discussing a temporary shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz with neighboring Oman, according to a foreign ministry spokesperson. The proposed arrangement would allow commercial shipping to resume. Tehran is not currently restarting talks with the United States. The statement followed Donald Trump’s claim that negotiations covering major disputes could resume, and his account that diplomacy had delayed a major strike after an appeal from Saudi Arabia’s crown prince.
