Context
Iran on Sunday said it was nearing a deal with Oman over a new route through the Strait of Hormuz, hours after the US called off major strikes to allow for diplomacy. US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that his country and Israel had agreed to hold off on new strikes on Iran, saying the "perimeters" of a deal were there. The foes have been at war since February 28, when the US and Israel launched surprise strikes against Iran, though months of on-off diplomacy have led to periods of relative calm.
