Iran says the coordinates of new shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz have been agreed with Oman, in a step that mediator Qatar believes could restart negotiations with Washington. Oman has not confirmed any agreement, and Trump has threatened to attack the US ally if it interferes. A ship was hit by a projectile in the strait in recent days, with one crew casualty.
