Iran says Strait of Hormuz deal with Oman in final stage

Iran announced Thursday that an agreement with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz is in its final drafting stage, potentially contingent on the U.S. lifting its blockade on Iranian ports. The strait is vital for global oil and gas shipments. Meanwhile, two Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon, marking the first Israeli deaths since the June truce with Hezbollah, as negotiations continue in Rome.
