  "summary": "US President Donald Trump's envoy, Jared Kushner, has stated that talks between the US and Iran are more robust than ever, but no deal has been reached yet. According to Kushner, conversations between the US and various parts of the Iranian government are ongoing.\n\nThe talks are part of a broader effort to address issues including the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway that has been largely closed for nearly six months. Oman, a US ally, has been negotiating with Tehran to reopen the strait and has reportedly suffered strikes from Iran.\n\nThe US and Oman have been pursuing separate negotiations with Iran on this issue. President Trump has reportedly threatened to bomb Oman if it \"gets in the way\" of US talks with Iran, according to Fox News.",
