Iran and Oman are close to an agreement on control of the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran says it won't be enough to reopen the waterway. According to the United Arab Emirates, Iran has hit another ship in the strait.
The agreement between Iran and Oman is seen as vital to a wider deal to end the war, which began with US and Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Iran and Oman are very close to an agreement on a new shipping route through the strait.

Additionally, Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr listed other demands, including ending US threats against Iran, stopping aggression against Iran and its Lebanese, and Palestinian allies, as reported by The Korea Times.
