Intensified diplomatic efforts are underway to find a solution for the Strait of Hormuz issue, with an American official telling Reuters that progress is being made in talks between Oman and Iran.

The U.S. official also noted that "As always, U.S. actions will continue to be linked to the implementation of Iran's commitments." This suggests that any easing of sanctions will be contingent on Iran fulfilling its obligations.
