Muscat: A possible agreement between Muscat and Tehran could be reached as early as tonight or tomorrow regarding the ongoing situation in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Axios, which cited informed sources. This development comes amid a backdrop of halted military actions ordered by US President Donald Trump.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, President Trump instructed the US military to refrain from initiating new strikes against Iran on Friday. This command effectively ended nearly two weeks of continuous daily attacks. While it is uncertain whether the suspension of strikes is a temporary pause or signals a longer-term cessation, the decision underscores Trump’s intent to allow more room for diplomatic efforts. The President believes that the current level of military engagement has achieved its maximum potential.

The source noted that diplomatic progress is being made, indicating that an agreement between Iran and Oman could be finalized over the weekend. Trump’s directive to halt military strikes came shortly after an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran to negotiate terms concerning the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting a significant step towards potential resolution.
