> Iran says it is close to finalising an agreement with Oman governing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Reports indicate that Tehran would oversee vessels entering the Persian Gulf, while Oman would manage outbound traffic. If completed, the arrangement could represent a major change in regional influence. It could also raise questions about freedom of navigation, maritime security and the balance of power in the Gulf.
