Iran and Oman Near Deal on Hormuz | Dublin News

Iran and Oman are nearing a deal on new shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz to boost safety, protect the environment, and combat crime—but Iran insists the strait won’t fully reopen unless the U.S. meets sweeping demands: compensation for damages, lifting sanctions, ending military threats, and releasing frozen assets. While the U.S. president dismisses talks as low-key and focuses on Iran’s economic woes, Tehran refuses to resume direct negotiations until Washington backs down. Complicating matters further, Iran’s allies in Yemen’s Houthi rebels have ramped up attacks in the Red Sea, adding to regional instability. The Strait remains a high-stakes bargaining chip, with global trade and security hanging in the balance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
