Donald Trump: "could happen … tomorrow or the next day"

Iran announced Wednesday that it and Oman have agreed on a plan for vessels to use a route through the Strait of Hormuz, a move that could pave the way for resuming oil and gas shipments that have been halted since the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran began more than five months ago. At the same time, Yemen’s Houthi forces said they are expanding attacks on Saudi‑linked shipping, reporting a strike on a tanker near Yanbu and suggesting a broader threat to other regional sea lanes. The prospect of reopening Hormuz gained attention after President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday night that a settlement might be reached within a day or two, referencing recent constructive discussions with Tehran and noting that Iran‑Oman negotiations had been gaining traction. This development matters because it could restore a major global energy conduit while the Red Sea situation remains volatile.
