> Iran says it has reached an agreement with Oman on a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, potentially opening a path for the crucial waterway to reopen. The announcement comes after further military threats from US President Donald Trump, who warned of consequences if Iran rejects a deal allowing free passage. Elsewhere, Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they attacked a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea. Israel has also carried out strikes in southern Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of breaching the ceasefire. The UN says 56 people have been executed inside Iran.
