Iran and Oman are close to reaching an agreement to reopen shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, ratifying Tehran’s control over the waterway, The New York Times reported.
Revenues would be divided equally between Iran and Oman, two Iranian officials said.
Inside the Pentagon, some senior officials are skeptical of such an arrangement, saying that it would amount to a US capitulation.
US President Donald Trump said earlier that additional details about talks between Washington and Tehran would emerge on August 4.
Trump had previously said that the US and Iran would engage in talks on August 3.
