Trump Says Hormuz Deal Could Be Announced Soon

President Donald Trump said a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be announced as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday following talks between Iran and Oman. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said talks had progressed, and Qatar reported draft language was being circulated, though Rubio cautioned nothing was final. Iran has tightened control over the strait and seeks toll authority it did not exercise before the war began on 28 February.
