🔶 Axios: Washington plans to announce the Strait of Hormuz deal on Wednesday

Axios, the news website, reported that the United States, Oman, and the Islamic Republic of Iran have moved close to reaching a temporary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

According to two regional sources and an American official, “Washington intends to announce this deal on Wednesday.”

Donald Trump had previously said that on Saturday he decided not to carry out, for now, his threat to launch a broad bombing campaign against Iran “to allow more time for diplomacy.” However, he has warned that if an agreement is not reached soon, he may authorize broad attacks.

In its report, Axios claims that the deal that is taking shape “meets some of Iran’s demands for greater control over the movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz—a level of control that Iran did not have before the war.”
