Sept ⁠12 (Reuters) - An understanding ⁠between Iran and ‌Oman does not provide for the immediate reopening ​of the ⁠Strait of ⁠Hormuz but establishes the ⁠basis ‌on which it ⁠could reopen, an Iranian source ​told ‌the semi-official Tasnim ⁠news ​agency on Saturday.

The source said ⁠the arrangement would ​be a step towards Iran exercising sovereignty ⁠over the strait and that its reopening depended entirely ​on ⁠the United States ​meeting Tehran's ‌conditions.
