  "summary": "Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has stated that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is contingent upon the United States accepting Tehran's conditions. According to the IRGC spokesperson, Sardar Mohebbi, the waterway's reopening is subject to \"specific mechanisms and conditions\". The IRGC emphasized that this decision is separate from ongoing talks with Oman.\n\nIran and Oman have reportedly agreed on a general framework to formalize shipping administration through the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran coordinating vessels entering the Arabian Gulf and Oman overseeing those exiting. However, details such as fees, reportedly sought by Iran at around 5% of cargo value, remain unresolved.\n\nA US official has suggested that an agreement between Iran and Oman could soon reopen the Strait of Hormuz, potentially restoring disrupted oil exports. The Trump administration has also indicated that a deal to reopen the strait is imminent.",
