A senior Iranian diplomatic source told Al Jazeera that remaining issues in negotiations with Oman "do not appear to be particularly complex" (aljazeera.com). The talks, which involve the United States and Iran, are aimed at reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil trade. While the U.S. has suggested the deal could happen "today or tomorrow," Iran has indicated that the process may take longer (news.google.com).

Experts suggest that Washington may eventually accept key Iranian demands, even as the two nations struggle to agree on the terms of the agreement (independent.co.uk). The U.S. and Iran are reportedly working with Oman to establish a temporary solution that would allow shipping traffic to resume without tolls, according to a report by the New York Post (nypost.com).

The situation remains uncertain, with Iran signaling that the talks with Oman would not lead to an immediate reopening of the strait (theguardian.com). Meanwhile, Trump has continued to express optimism about a swift resolution, as diplomatic engagement between Iran and Oman enters a new phase (news.google.com).
