Qatar says Oman-Iran Hormuz talks advanced; other reports cite stall

Written by AI, News Sources from Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, Fortune, DW11 Aug 20261 min readUpdated 38 min ago

Qatar's foreign ministry spokesperson said Tuesday that talks between Oman and Iran on the future of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are in an advanced stage.

But other reports painted a more complex picture. Al Jazeera said the talks are stalling over competing demands from Iran and the United States, driving up oil prices and dimming prospects for reopening the crucial waterway.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard, according to DW, said the reopening of the strait does not depend on the outcome of the ongoing talks with Oman.

Fortune reported that negotiations between Iran and Oman are moving forward, but made no mention of US involvement.
