Trump warns Oman, new Gaza working groups, and Iraq considers dinar reform

US special envoy Jared Kushner claims Iran has rejected necessary concessions for a lasting agreement, after their latest negotiation deadline passed. Tehran asserts it has reached an agreement with Oman regarding a new shipping route through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump issued a warning to Oman amid ongoing diplomacy over control of the vital waterway. Additionally, Israel has agreed to work alongside the US-backed Board of Peace in establishing two working groups in Gaza.

Meanwhile, a rail link connecting Dubai's two international airports is progressing, and Fifa's chief operating officer Kevin Lamour was recently dismissed after criticizing President Gianni Infantino's controversial commercial rights proposal.
