You might recall that strait has been largely blocked since the Mideast War began in February.
So far, the Iranian president, Massoud Pazashkian, has told audiences here that Iran and Oman have agreed on a joint route through the Strait of Hormuz and they'll sign a deal on Monday.
Now, we're seeking confirmation from Gulf states and also a response from President Trump because he's previously threatened to bomb Oman.
It's the other country that overlooks the Strait of Hormuz because President Trump is demanding the unconditional reopening of the Strait.
The Iranian president said something else that may well enrage the president as well.
He's called on BRICS countries to build an alternative to the international payment system, basically ditch the dollar.
And this part was broadcast by the Indian outlet ANI.
The key words there, Scott, are diversifying payment channels.
It doesn't sound that exciting, but basically the bulk of all global trade presently is done in dollars, and that allows the United States to impose punishing sanctions like on Russia and Iran.
So these two countries, alongside other members of BRICS, have long called for the development of payment systems that bypass the dollar, and that would diminish American influence.
During last year's BRICS summit, President Trump threatened extra tariffs on countries that he said aligned with the anti-American policies of BRICS.
Experts say that's unlikely for now, if only because of conflicts between BRICS nations themselves, like United Arab Emirates, for instance, which recently halted all trade with Iran.
But these nations do represent about a third of all global trade.
Christopher Walker, the vice president at the think tank, the Center for European Policy Analysis, warns against complacency because he says America's biggest rival, China, is assuming a dominant role in BRICS.
And with China hosting the summit next year, we can expect more of these muscular assertions of independence from the United States.
You're welcome, Scott.
The assessment was by a consortium that looks at risk data in the high mountains.
Scientists looked at publicly available satellite imagery and found melting had sped up on the glacier, a sign it was unstable, and there was an indication of a crack in the bedrock.
One report author, Jakob Steiner, told NPR that their rapid assessment showed it's possible to develop an early warning system.
The report says there's still a risk of more flash flooding because of potentially unstable masses of rock and ice that remain on the glacier.
