US official dismisses Iran-Oman Strait of Hormuz deal as Trump blockade stands

nypost.com — August 27, 2026 at 08:01 PM UTC

A US official said a purported Iran-Oman agreement to control the Strait of Hormuz is "not even close to done" and would be meaningless while President Trump's blockade of Iran remains in effect. The official stated no deal exists without Trump's approval. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed Wednesday that terms were agreed, but the US official said the deal lacks full approval from Iran's leadership and its revenue details remain unclear. Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it tolls the strait, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced "Operation Economic Outcast" to pressure countries to sever business ties with Iran. The US is intensifying economic pressure, with fuel lines forming at Iranian gas stations and inflation rising. Trump's core demand is that Iran destroy its highly enriched uranium, and he has refused to consider postwar Iranian control of the strait. Peace talks remain stalled.
