Iran says it is close to reaching a final agreement with Oman on a new shipping arrangement through the Strait of Hormuz, raising hopes that one of the world's most important oil transit routes could soon reopen to normal navigation.
According to Iranian officials, both countries have agreed on the geographical coordinates for a proposed maritime corridor, with final negotiations now in their closing stages. The proposed deal is intended to improve security and restore commercial shipping after months of tensions in the Gulf.
US President Donald Trump also said Washington remains engaged in talks with Tehran, adding that he prefers a diplomatic solution over further military confrontation.
The latest developments follow weeks of negotiations after renewed fighting disrupted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Reports indicate that Oman has played a key mediating role in efforts to find a compromise acceptable to all parties.
Meanwhile, regional tensions remain high. The Israeli military confirmed that two of its reserve soldiers were killed during combat operations in southern Lebanon, while four others were seriously wounded. Israel has since carried out additional strikes in southern Lebanon.
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces launched a large-scale military operation in the Qalandiya refugee camp near Ramallah. Residents reported house raids, detentions, and damage to property, while Palestinian officials accused Israel of escalating military operations during the country's election season.
In the United States, Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed reiterated his opposition to unconditional US military aid to foreign countries, including Israel. He argued that American tax revenue should prioritize domestic needs such as education and community development.
Financial markets also reacted positively to reports of progress in the Hormuz negotiations. Gold prices climbed to a seven-week high, supported by expectations that shipping through the strategic waterway could soon resume and by a weaker US dollar.
The situation across the Middle East remains fluid as diplomatic negotiations continue alongside ongoing military operations in several areas.
