In short
- Iran said on August 2 that negotiations with Oman concerning the Strait of Hormuz had reached their final stages, as Washington paused further attacks in hope of a quick agreement.
Iran said on August 2, 2026, that negotiations with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz were in their final stages, marking a new diplomatic development amid tensions involving Tehran and Washington.
The announcement came after US President Donald Trump said the United States would hold off on a new attack on Iran in the hope that an agreement could be reached quickly. The available source report did not disclose proposed terms or a timetable for concluding the talks.
Oman's role places the Gulf state at the centre of the latest effort to reduce tensions around the strategically important waterway. Any agreement affecting the strait would carry implications for regional security and international shipping, but the outcome remained unresolved as of August 2.
