The Strait of Hormuz &#8220;is going to be open very soon,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;If they back out again, they are going to get hit really hard.&#8221;<br><br>Trump has \u200boften threatened massive strikes if Tehran did not reach an agreement and then cited progress in talks that have so far failed to \u200bend hostilities.<br>Axios, citing two regional sources and a U.S. official, reported the U.S. and Iran are closing in on an \u2060interim agreement to reopen the strait with the agreement of Oman, which controls part of the waterway. The report said Washington was aiming for an \u200bannouncement on Wednesday.<br>However, Iranian state media, citing an informed source, said an agreement with Oman on the strait, which normally carries about a fifth of global \u200boil and liquefied natural gas shipments, will be delayed &#8220;as long as the United States continues to threaten Iran.&#8221;<br><br>QATAR ALSO CITES PROGRESS IN TALKS<br>Trump has yet to achieve the objectives he set out at the start of the war: dismantling Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme, curbing its ability to attack regional rivals and creating conditions for Iranians to overthrow their clerical \u200brulers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran has halted most traffic through Hormuz while Washington maintains a blockade of Iran-related shipping and ports.<br>Qatar had earlier said mediators were making progress in \u200befforts to end the conflict, even after Tehran denied that talks were underway.<br>Trump and Qatar&#8217;s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani discussed efforts to narrow differences between Washington \u200cand Tehran \u2060and improve the prospects for a lasting settlement during a phone call on Tuesday, Qatar&#8217;s Emiri office said.<br>Iran&#8217;s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, said talks with Oman over transit through the strait were positive and continuing, and were focused on establishing safe shipping lanes, state media reported. He added the route being negotiated was aimed at ensuring the sovereign rights and national security of both Iran and Oman.<br>Advertisement \u00b7 Scroll to continue<br>Iran has long demanded control over the Strait of Hormuz, which \u200bit says it should share with \u200bOman on the opposite shore. But \u2060Tehran rejected an Omani proposal last week that would have allowed shared oversight and the collection of voluntary fees from ships.<br>Yemen&#8217;s Iran-aligned Houthis have also imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, further restricting \u200boil export routes. A projectile struck an Indian-flagged vessel near Yemen, causing it to capsize and sink, but all 14 \u200bseafarers on board \u2060were rescued, Indian officials said, in an attack Yemen blamed on the Houthis.<br>The United Nations&#8217; International Maritime Organization has reported at least 17 deaths of seafarers from 64 incidents in the Strait of Hormuz since the war started on February 28.<br>Those are in addition to the Iranian government&#8217;s toll of 50 people killed and 500 \u2060wounded by \u200bU.S. strikes since hostilities renewed in late June, a figure reported before Iran said a \u200bU.S. strike on Qeshm in late July killed a husband and wife and their 2-year-old son.<br>In all Iran has reported more than 3,400 deaths since the U.S. and Israel launched the war \u200bon February 28, while the U.S. has reported 18 military personnel dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration had &#8220;very good discussions&#8221;
