Iran says deal on Strait of Hormuz is close but not enough to open the waterway

 A significant shipping route agreement is nearing completion between Iran and Oman, which is essential for reviving the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iran insists on receiving US compensation and an end to hostilities as part of the deal. Meanwhile, the UAE has noted that another ship has been attacked in the strait, highlighting that normal oil trade can only commence once these larger issues are resolved. A significant shipping route agreement is nearing completion between Iran and Oman, which is essential for reviving the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
