Iran Announces That It’s Resuming Negotiations with Oman over Strait of Hormuz

HeadlineAug 26, 2026

Iran announced that it has resumed negotiations with Oman over managing the Strait of Hormuz. That’s despite mounting economic pressure from President Trump. It comes as the U.S. says it has completed the clearing of mines from the Strait of Hormuz. An oil tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile off the coast of Oman on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Secret Service said that it was tracking a recent video broadcast by Iranian state television to assassinate Trump’s youngest son, Barron. The potential plot alleges that a $10 million bounty had been offered for his killing.
