According to Semafor, a US official and a White House official say the US
believes government Iran-Oman talks collapsed several weeks ago; those talks had
at one point explored a possible fee/tolling arrangement for passage through the
Strait of Hormuz. The Oman embassy did not respond. Trump has described the
situation as "very good" and said he expects economic pressure to bring Tehran
back to the table, though he has called off further talks for the foreseeable
future. Last night he posted he would wage an "economic war" and threatened
sanctions on any country that does business with Tehran.
