> Iran says it has reached the final stage of drafting an agreement with Oman concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran denies that the United States is involved in the negotiations. The statement contrasts with Donald Trump’s recent insistence that an agreement to reopen the vital waterway was imminent. The developments highlight a gap between Iran’s account of the talks and the US position.
