U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration had “very good discussions” with Iran during all-day negotiations on Tuesday, fuelling expectations of an imminent end to the five-month conflict. The Strait of Hormuz “is going to be open very soon,” Trump added. Iran has halted most traffic through Hormuz while Washington maintains a blockade of Iran-related shipping and ports. He added the route being negotiated was aimed at ensuring the sovereign rights and national security of both Iran and Oman. Iran has long demanded control over the Strait of Hormuz, which it says it should share with Oman on the opposite shore.
