00:00We begin with updates in the Middle East. Qatar says talks between Oman and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz
00:06have reached an advanced stage, with negotiations now at a critical juncture.
00:11Doha adds that it had received positive feedback from both sides and that talks will continue.
00:18Iran had earlier announced that it had agreed with Oman on the geographical parameters of a shipping route, with both
00:26sides now working through remaining technical issues.
00:30The main obstacle will be over the sequencing of a deal, with Washington demanding unhindered commercial shipping before lifting its
00:37blockade of Iranian ports.
00:40Tehran, meanwhile, says reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on U.S. concessions, including the lifting of sanctions and an
00:47end to the naval blockade.
00:49The latest developments come as President Donald Trump claimed the U.S. Navy had cleared the Strait of Hormuz, adding
00:56the U.S. now has 100 percent control of the waterway.
01:00Trump also said that Iran should pay reparations for what he described as the damage that they have done, adding
01:07another point of tension to the negotiations.
