Iran and Oman have reportedly reached a tentative agreement on a route map for ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei. However, a joint announcement has yet to be finalized, with negotiations continuing despite delays attributed to the complexity of the discussions and "destructive efforts" from some quarters.
The US President, Donald Trump, warned Oman against interfering in the US administration's efforts involving Iran, threatening military action if necessary. Trump also disclosed that the US has secured a back-channel communication line with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), though he expressed no urgency in reaching a deal with Tehran.
The 14-point deal negotiated in Islamabad on June 17 aimed to serve as an interim framework for ending the conflict and paving the way for a longer-term nuclear agreement. However, both Iran and the United States have accused each other of breaching the agreement, with Trump emphasizing the importance of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons as his administration's primary objective in the war.
