In a major breakthrough on the volatile Middle East crisis, US President has expressed optimism that a deal will be reached between Washington and Tehran to restore access to the strategic Strait of Hormuz by Sunday. The Strait, a critical waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, has been a focal point of tensions between the US and Iran since 2019 when Tehran seized a British oil tanker, sparking a wave of maritime disputes. If a deal is indeed reached, it would mark a significant easing of tensions in the region, allowing for the resumption of oil shipments and potentially paving the way for renewed diplomatic efforts between the two nations. The implications of such a deal would be far-reaching, with global oil markets and regional stability hanging in the balance.
