A US official stated on Friday that Iran and Oman may soon agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Washington offering to lift its blockade of Iranian ports upon resumption of unimpeded commercial shipping. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps rejected this account within a day, stating that reopening depends on US acceptance of Iranian conditions including traffic control and transit fees. Negotiators have agreed on route coordinates, though Iran seeks control and fees while Washington rejects both.
