Iran says deal with Oman on Strait of Hormuz agreed in principle

But Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister cautioned a bilateral deal with Oman 'does not mean the full reopening of the Strait'

The wait for an Iran-Oman deal that partially reopens the Strait of Hormuz continued through Thursday, after the Islamic Republic said an agreement on proposed shipping lanes is in the final stages.

The deal now rests on how “third parties” will react to it, says Tehran.
