> A senior Trump administration official said a deal to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could be reached as soon as today or tomorrow. The claim raised hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough and coincided with a sharp fall in oil prices. Iran, however, publicly denied that it is negotiating with Washington. That denial leaves the prospects for an agreement uncertain despite the administration’s optimistic timeline.
