  "summary": "Iran and Oman have resumed talks about the Strait of Hormuz. They are discussing a temporary shipping corridor and a joint mine-clearing mission. According to Quartz, this plan is being considered as passage through the waterway remains perilous.\n\nUS President Donald Trump has stated that the US Navy has removed all mines from the Strait of Hormuz. He also warned that any ship or boat placing new mines will be destroyed, and that the US is watching \"every square inch\" of the Strait through its Space Force.\n\nOil transits through the strait were at 5 million barrels per day, according to provisional data from shiptracker Vortexa, as reported by Business Recorder.",
