This could happen. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The remarks come as Iran and Oman are reportedly nearing an agreement to reopen the vital waterway. A spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that discussions between Tehran and Muscat have centered on establishing secure maritime routes for vessels. The outcome of these negotiations will be announced once they are concluded, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.

Great progress has been made.

Iran has been clear that its negotiations are exclusively with Oman and not with the United States. This distinction is crucial as tensions have remained high in the region. The potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is seen as a significant development that could contribute to de-escalating regional conflicts and ensuring the free flow of global trade.

The final outcome will be announced after the conclusion of the negotiations.
