Iran Confirms Hormuz Deal Framework With Oman, Final Agreement Still Pending

⚓ HORMUZ — A framework exists, but Tehran is reminding everyone it hasn't signed anything yet. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Baghaei reiterating the Oman route agreement signals Tehran wants credit for flexibility without locking in commitments. The August 17 ceasefire deadline is live; confirming a framework without finalizing keeps Iran's leverage intact. Washington can't claim a win, and Oman can't announce a deal. The gap between "agreed route" and "open strait" is where the MOU negotiations will be won or lost.
