Trump says Strait of Hormuz deal could happen as soon as today amid talks
President Trump told reporters Tuesday evening that an announcement on the Strait of Hormuz could happen today or tomorrow, following talks between Iran and Oman.
President Trump suggested a deal on the Strait of Hormuz could be reached as early as Wednesday or Thursday during ongoing talks with Iran and Oman, according to a report by Axios. The proposed agreement would allow ships to traverse the Persian Gulf via an Iranian-controlled route and exit through a route overseen by Oman, with service fees charged for security and maritime environment preservation.
The U.S. recently used nearly all of its long-range precision missiles during the war with Iran, raising concerns about dwindling stockpiles of defensive interceptors.
