An Emerging Deal Between Iran and Oman to Reopen Hormuz Would Come at a Cost for Trump

The deal would address President Trump’s most urgent political problem by allowing ships to move again. But it would give Iran strategic leverage it did not have before the war.

The US President further claimed Washington had been prepared to launch a major military operation against Iran before diplomatic interventions from regional countries.

Iran's negotiators signaled to the US that they could reopen the Strait of Hormuz before President Trump called off massive strikes on the country this weekend, according to reports — but the IRGC is already denying any deal.

He added that Israel has agreed to join the U.S. in the commitment to try to complete the agreement with Iran.
