Proposed Hormuz deal would give Iran control of inbound traffic, sources say

By Parisa Hafezi and Timour Azhari DUBAI/RIYADH, Aug 5 (Reuters) - A proposed deal between Iran and Oman would give Tehran control over ships entering the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, a senior Iranian source and two regional officials told Reuters on Wednesday, in one of the biggest concessions yet to Iran. Despite the apparent step towards yielding to Iranian demands, the sources pushed back against assertions by U.S. President Donald Trump that a deal reopening the strait was imminent, saying important details still had to be agreed.
