Sept 12 (Reuters) – ⁠An ⁠understanding between ⁠Iran and ​Oman does not ‌provide for the ‌immediate ⁠reopening ⁠of the Strait of Hormuz ​but establishes the basis ​on which it could ⁠reopen, an ⁠Iranian ⁠source told ​the semi-official Tasnim news ​agency ⁠on Saturday.

The source said the ⁠arrangement would be a step towards ⁠Iran exercising sovereignty over the strait and that its reopening depended entirely on the ⁠United States meeting Tehran’s conditions.
