Iran says it is close to a deal with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route carrying about 20% of global oil and gas, but analysts caution that tensions remain high and no breakthrough is guaranteed. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu renewed warnings about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. However, arms control expert Kelsey Davenport says there is no evidence Iran has decided to build a nuclear weapon. She warns that recent US and Israeli attacks could strengthen pro-nuclear voices in Tehran and increase global nuclear proliferation risks.
