Iran said Wednesday it is in the “final stage” of drafting an agreement with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, and U.S. President Donald Trump has said a deal could be announced this week.
The officials, who were briefed on the negotiations, portrayed the potential deal as a temporary solution to the dispute over the strait.
