What happened
Iran says Oman-mediated talks over the Strait of Hormuz are in their final stages, while Trump says he has canceled a planned new U.S. attack and expects negotiations Monday on an imminent peace deal. The framework would reopen Hormuz and address Iran’s nuclear program, but Tehran has not confirmed a completed deal and says the waterway will not return to its pre-war status. The war began after Feb. 28 joint U.S.-Israeli strikes and persisted despite a June 17 memorandum that opened a 60-day negotiating period. Disrupted Gulf shipping has kept energy markets volatile.
