What is the proposed interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
This morning, the United States, Iran and Oman are closing in on an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with the U.S. aiming for announcement today. That's according to two regional sources and a U.S. official. The deal under discussion sets up a 60-day temporary arrangement between Oman and Iran in the Strait, which could be extended. All inbound ship traffic would use a northern lane through Iranian waters, while all outbound traffic would use a southern lane through Omani waters in coordination with Iran. No tolls or fees would be charged during that 60-day period. A senior Middle East diplomat with direct knowledge of the talks tells MSNOW the United States and Europe are placing a great deal of pressure on Oman to accept the agreement.
The diplomat adds the deal is poised to give Iran temporary control of both routes in the strait, which would be a major concession as the outbound route would collapse. Through Omani, territorial water still includes a section of Iranian water. This all comes as Reuters reports the U.S. has used virtually all of its long-range precision missiles throughout the war, now in its six months. That's according to sources familiar with Pentagon data. As the news outlet puts it, the dramatic rundown of these missiles means President Trump may have to rely on more on riskier piloted bombing missions if he relaunches large-scale attacks on Iran. President Trump hit back at that reporting, writing, in part, we have far more munitions than anyone in the world and far more than we need.
I think we need to look at the exit polls. We have to have the race call to kind of really understand what happened here. The most interesting piece of this to me so far is if you look at Wayne County, Michigan, which is home to both Dearborn and Detroit, that has lots of black voters, minority voters, Arab voters. And it went for Stevens. But narrowly. And so what's interesting about that to me is you have to take into effect in this race. People are divided. The Democratic Party is divided and even black voters. The jury is out on progressives and also the amount of money that was spent in this race. specifically on behalf of Stevens, clearly played a role because there was over $50 million in attack ads on Syed, tying him to attacks on Michelle Obama that he really didn't make in the way that they were insinuating, also insinuating that Haley Stevens was endorsed by Obama, which was not the case.
He didn't get involved in this race. All this is to say it's very clear that Black voters were deluged, including members of my family who live in the state with attack ads. And so all of that played a role. At the end of the day, though, it's obvious. And when you look at your reporting, Peter, it is very clear that voters in Michigan, just like in Brooklyn, OK, are looking for fighters. They're looking for outside candidates. And I do think that Abdul was helped by a trend in the Democratic Party, just an anger toward the establishment. And Abdul has been angry about the Democratic establishment since we were in college in Michigan together. So, you know, whether you dislike him, whether you like him, that is an authentic position that he has taken for about 20 years.
This sounds a lot like the memorandum of understanding that we saw back in June, which created the 60-day ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz was supposed to be open once again. But really why that deal blew up was that Iran was having issues with commercial vessels passing through the Omani side of the strait and not the Iranian side of the strait. And that's why they were shooting drones at those vessels, because they wanted them to pass on the Iranian side. And Secretary of State Marco Rubio has maintained numerous times that if we allowed Iran to have any control of the state, that strait, I should say, that would create a very dangerous precedent for other waterways around the world. So it seems like this is a major concession that Iran would have any control of what's happening in the strait there.
