Iran warns of military ship ban in Hormuz under potential deal with Oman and other Middle East news
Iran has warned it will bar military vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz if an agreement with Oman is reached, according to Iran's deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi. The potential deal aims to manage commercial shipping traffic in the strategic waterway which has been largely closed since the start of the Iran war six months ago.
Israeli strikes in Gaza continued, fueling tensions in the broader Middle East. U.S. President Donald Trump has opposed parts of the deal, threatening to bomb Oman if it interferes. Talks between Iran and Qatar are set to address the "freedom of navigation" in the Strait and the need to return to conditions pre-war.
