The Claire Byrne Show · The US and Iran traded fire overnight · 28 May 2026 podcast

Yeah, the Iranian state television reported it had an initial unofficial framework for the agreement.

The White House then said that was a complete fabrication.

Now, under that document, and I think it's unlikely to be the framework final version, but under that document, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz, but would continue to control the Strait

in cooperation with Oman.

I don't think there is any way that the Americans are going to tolerate that.

You just heard that extraordinary moment when the President of the United States threatened to attack Oman, which is not only a US ally, but is one of the mediators in this dispute.

Then this document also says the US withdrawing an unspecified number of troops from areas around Iran.

Not saying whether that would apply to American military bases.

And crucially, no mention at all in here of enriched uranium or nuclear weapon programs.

And those have to be central to any agreement, surely.

Well, I think there may well have been talks at some level.

I mean, look, Iran and Oman are the two countries on either side of that strait.

It's a narrow, it's a narrow strait of water.

But I think the Omanis would have known from a very early point that that's not going to fly.

There is no way that the Americans have gone through all this and have made such a big deal of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to allow tolls to be paid.

And

And also, just on a very practical basis, Claire, I mean, Iran is subject to sanctions.

And at the moment, if you tomorrow said, right, you've got to go through and you've got to pay a toll, well, you can't because Iran is a sanctioned country.

So I just I don't think there's any practical solution.

This is obviously Trump rhetoric everywhere.
