Curated summary
Iran says a shipping-lane deal with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz is in its final stages, but reopening the waterway still depends on U.S. action. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said there are no direct talks with Washington and that messages are moving through intermediaries. The strait had carried about one-fifth of global oil and LNG shipments before Iran blocked it after U.S. and Israeli attacks.
