Iran and Oman are reportedly nearing a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which would grant Tehran significant control over inbound traffic. This emerging agreement comes after months of Iran's demonstrated ability to threaten shipping, effectively closing the strait and impacting global oil supplies. While the U.S. insists on unimpeded navigation, sources suggest that Washington may have to accept a de facto Iranian authority over the waterway, at least temporarily, as a precursor to broader ceasefire negotiations.
