The United States is pushing to announce an interim agreement with Iran and Oman on Wednesday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report from Axios. The deal would ease tensions around the critical oil transit chokepoint, which handles about a fifth of global oil shipments.
Details remain limited, but sources indicate the talks have progressed significantly. The three nations have been engaged in quiet diplomacy to de-escalate the situation.
