Iran says it is close to finalizing a deal with Oman regarding arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz, though Iran's chief negotiator has accused Trump of "theater diplomacy." The proposed agreement involves new arrangements for the vital waterway, with Iran seeking to bar US and Israeli ships while the US insists on free transit and a return to pre-war status quo. Neither the US nor Oman have commented on the proposed agreement, and analysts note a gap between Trump's framing of direct talks with Iran and Tehran's assertion that it is negotiating with Oman rather than Washington.
