@Middle_East_Spectator

May be an industrial accident, that’s what Emirati sources say.

Have to wait and see.

NOTE: The IRGC has not targeted any new ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

Reports of a vessel being targeted are false. NASA firemap imagery is related to the attack from last night (03-08-2026) against a cargo vessel.

@Middle_East_Spectator

More explosions heard in UAE.

Distant and not clear what it is.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇴🇲 NEW: An interim deal on the Strait of Hormuz could be announced as soon as tomorrow, Barak Ravid reports for Axios

As part of the deal, which is being negotiated between coastal states Iran and Oman, all inbound traffic would enter the Strait of Hormuz through a northern lane located within Iran’s territorial waters.

All outbound traffic would leave the Strait through Omani waters, ‘in coordination with Iran’ (i.e. with explicit permission from IRGC Navy).

The interim deal would last for 60 days, during which no tolls or maritime fees will be collected. Within 30 days, both sides strive to clear mines from the median lane in the Strait of Hormuz, and to reach an eventual permanent settlement.

@Middle_East_Spectator

I have voiced my opposition to such negotiated settlements repeatedly and for good reason, but the fact we’re now discussing Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz is insane, considering that just 5 months ago everyone was talking merely about regime survival.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Reports that an agreement has been reached between Iran and Oman on the Strait of Hormuz are false.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the deal is in its ‘final stages’, and that a joint statement could be expected soon if third parties do not obstruct the deal.
