Trump Says Deal To Reopen Strait of Hormuz Could Come As Early As Wednesday
Trump said talks with Iran and Oman are nearing a temporary shipping deal that could restore traffic through a waterway carrying about one-fifth of global oil and gas.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be finalized within days, citing "very good discussions" with Iran on the strategic waterway.
- Mediators from Oman and Iran have reportedly drafted a 60-day temporary agreement routing inbound traffic through Iranian waters and outbound vessels through Omani lanes to resolve control disputes.
- Washington officials reject any arrangement allowing tolls, insisting the strait remain an open international waterway, while Iran denies direct contact with the U.S., maintaining discussions are mediated solely by Oman.
- Brent crude fell 1.2% to $78.43 a barrel early Wednesday as markets anticipated resumed commercial shipping, potentially easing global supply chain pressures.
- Previous ceasefire attempts collapsed in July, leaving analysts skeptical about deal durability; the U.S. has depleted nearly all long-range precision missile stockpiles during the conflict.
