US and Oman
VS
Iran
The US, Iran, and Oman are reportedly close to an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route.
The deal would give Iran greater control over shipping in the strait, raising questions about regional security and maritime freedom.
Oman, which has maintained neutrality in the ongoing Iran war and good relations with both the US and Iran, is under pressure from Washington to cut ties with Tehran.
Iran says it is negotiating with Oman, not the US, over a temporary route through the strait, while the US has threatened sanctions and military action against Oman if it does not comply.
