  "account": "Negotiations between Iran and Oman are nearing completion on a deal that would manage commercial shipping traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei confirmed on Monday that the agreement is in its final stages after weeks of discussions. The proposed arrangement aims to create a temporary safe passage through this critical waterway. Iran intends to register this understanding with the International Maritime Organization, a United Nations body responsible for global shipping regulations. The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage off the coast of Oman, is a vital route for global oil shipments. Reduced market confidence in the security of shipping lanes has been contributing to recent volatility in oil prices. Following confirmation of the impending deal, oil prices temporarily retreated. Brent crude futures fell 0.1%, settling at $96.15 a barrel, down from an earlier high of $97.93. While traders seem to be pricing in the prospect of enhanced vessel flow through the Strait, the potential impact of U.S. policy on the deal remains unclear.",
