Iranian officials say they are on the verge of finalizing a deal with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement is likely to be contingent on the U.S. lifting its blockade on Iranian ports. Iran also continues to insist on some type of control over the Strait, saying it will not go back to its pre-war status of being an open international waterway.
