Wall Street Journal: U.S. officials say Oman in talks with Iran has made progress in increasing the passage of commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz

This progress could reduce pressure on the global energy market and on gasoline prices in the United States. However, some senior U.S. officials accuse Muscat of being inclined toward Tehran, and they are concerned that an Iran–Oman agreement would strengthen Iran’s control over the strait.

Trump wants an agreement that fully opens the Strait of Hormuz, not a deal that gives Tehran more control over commercial passage
