Iran and Oman discuss temporary Hormuz corridor as impasse with US drags on

By Yomna Ehab CAIRO, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Iran said it had restarted talks with neighbor Oman to manage the Strait of Hormuz as it faces heightened economic pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump in the wider conflict. Iran and Oman have been in on-and-off talks for weeks about controlling traffic through the strategic waterway, which handled one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments before the war began in February. Most shipping has been shut down since then.
