U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington and Tehran held “very good discussions” during all-day negotiations on Tuesday, raising expectations that the two sides could be moving toward an interim understanding.
The reported diplomatic progress has focused attention on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway whose possible reopening helped boost Asian markets and oil prices. An agreement involving Oman was reportedly nearing, though the available details did not confirm that a final deal had been reached.
The developments emerged from talks involving officials in Dubai and Washington, with the situation still unfolding. Trump’s comments offered a more positive assessment of the negotiations while leaving the precise terms and timing of any arrangement unclear.
