Fars News said some "media linked to adversaries" had reported Iran agreed to a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Sources denied the report and said Iran’s policy toward the strategic waterway has not changed.

On Aug. 2 Iran’s foreign minister Araghchi told a cabinet meeting negotiations with Oman on arrangements to manage safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz are progressing smoothly, have entered a final stage and are nearing completion. On July 26 Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Baghaei said talks with Oman on common principles and operational mechanisms for Strait of Hormuz maritime security were productive and had made some progress. Araghchi spoke by phone on July 27 with the foreign ministers of Oman and Saudi Arabia to discuss the Strait and stressed the need to strengthen cooperation.

After Trump tweeted that a framework had been agreed and that he had agreed to call off strikes on Iran, CNN and other outlets report there is no indication any proposal under discussion would amount to "ending Iran's nuclear threat." Details on the Strait of Hormuz remain scarce; sources say talks may involve a potential arrangement with Oman.
