> Iran says negotiations with Oman on reopening the Strait of Hormuz are approaching their final stage. Tehran says reopening the waterway remains conditional on additional terms and compensation for what it describes as breaches of the June agreement. Its new demands include the lifting of a US naval blockade on the strait and Iranian ports, along with the withdrawal of US military forces from the area. Scott Lucas, a professor of international politics at University College Dublin’s Clinton Institute, provides further insight.
