US, Iran, Oman Near 60-Day Hormuz Deal With No Fees, Dual-Lane Framework
🤝 OMAN — Iran dropped the fee demand; it kept the management role. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The framework trades Iran's fee demand for something it wanted more: codified authority over inbound Hormuz lanes. Oman covers outbound; mine clearance binds both sides jointly. The 60-day clock is a renegotiation trap — whoever blinks first shapes the permanent deal. Variable that shifts: Israel, excluded throughout, now faces a fait accompli.
