Gaza Conflict Escalates As Iran And Oman Discuss Strait Of Hormuz Deal
Israel has rejected a deal announced by US President Donald Trump for Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisting that Israel’s military will not withdraw until Hamas is disarmed. Meanwhile, Iran and Oman are working on a temporary deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with ships transiting without paying fees or tolls during the interim period. The development comes as Yemen’s Houthi rebels struck a government-held port and an oil facility in Saudi Arabia, deepening fears over threats to strategic shipping routes. This was reported by an unknown source.
