> Iran says it is close to finalising an agreement with Oman on how the Strait of Hormuz will be managed in the future. The proposed deal would create new shipping routes through the strategic waterway, although uncertainty remains over joint control of the strait. Tehran says it is not conducting direct negotiations with the United States. Diplomatic communication is continuing through intermediaries, while traffic through the waterway remains central to the issue.
