Proposed Hormuz deal would give Iran control of inbound traffic

A proposed deal between Iran and Oman would give Tehran control over ships entering the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a senior Iranian source and two regional officials. The sources pushed back against U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that a deal reopening the strait is imminent, noting unresolved details. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson described negotiations as professional and moving forward, with a joint statement in final stages. The U.S. has insisted it would never accept such an arrangement.
