Hormuz Deal Near as Trump Eyes End to War | Tucson News

Iran edges closer to reopening the Strait of Hormuz with Oman in a deal that could ease global shipping chaos and pressure on Trump ahead of elections—but hinges on U.S. lifting its blockade and accepting Iran’s control over passage fees, sparking fierce resistance from Washington. While the war’s original goals have fizzled, the strait’s closure has crippled global trade and inflation, forcing negotiators to revisit a June agreement that collapsed. The proposed plan lets ships enter via Iranian waters and exit through Omani control, with Iran demanding tolls for security and environmental upkeep—a move the U.S. rejects as undermining international norms. Meanwhile, Houthi attacks on tankers, explosions off Yemen, and fraying Israeli-Hezbollah truce add to regional instability as talks continue in Rome.
