      Trump Vows U.S. Ownership of Hormuz, Iran Scoffs as Ship Is Hit

      Iran Says Hormuz Shipping Deal Is Close, But Reopening Is Not

      Still open after this report

      • No public text, confirmed Omani endorsement of inbound control, or agreed enforcement and liability regime.
      • No confirmed timetable for full reopening or for direct US-Iran talks that Tehran links to reopening.
