Iran says deal on Strait of Hormuz is close but not enough to open the waterway

Tehran says an interim shipping arrangement with Oman is being discussed while it seeks broader concessions from Washington, including compensation, an end to sanctions and the release of frozen Iranian assets.

Iran said on Saturday that a deal with Oman on control of the Strait of Hormuz was close but would not be enough to free up the waterway, and the United Arab Emirates said Iran had hit another ship there.
