Trump rejects reported Iran-Hormuz draft and warns Oman as U.S.-Iran tensions continue
The Facts
- Iranian state media reported a preliminary, unofficial draft framework for a U.S.-Iran memorandum related to ending the conflict.
- According to the Iranian state-media account, the draft would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to prewar levels within about a month.
- The same reported draft said transit through the Strait of Hormuz would be managed in cooperation with Oman.
- The White House publicly denied the reported draft, calling the Iranian media reports false or fabricated.
- Trump said he was not satisfied with the negotiations with Iran and said that no one would control the Strait of Hormuz.
- Trump also warned Oman over any role in controlling or jointly managing the Strait of Hormuz.
- The uncertainty around a possible U.S.-Iran understanding over Hormuz has affected oil markets, with reports linking lower oil prices to optimism about a reopening of the strait.
- The dispute over the reported draft has unfolded alongside renewed U.S.-Iran military exchanges, including U.S. strikes tied to drone threats near Hormuz and an Iranian response against a U.S. base in Kuwait.
