Tensions between the US and Iran continue, with the Strait of Hormuz at the center of developments. Iran and Oman are negotiating to create new shipping routes through this strategic area, which has been closed by Tehran since the start of the conflict.
According to Iranian media, lawmakers are awaiting final approval of a framework agreement with Oman, while a draft law is also being drafted to regulate maritime traffic, with restrictions on certain ships and fines for violators.
On the other hand, US Vice President JD Vance stated that any negotiations with Iran will be difficult and will take time. Meanwhile, according to reports, President Donald Trump is facing concerns about the dwindling US ammunition reserves, while General Dan Caine has privately conveyed to senior administration officials the need to find a way out of the conflict.
Tehran, for its part, has accused Washington of "theater diplomacy" and denied signals of direct dialogue. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called for unity, praising the readiness and strength of the Iranian armed forces in the face of the US.
