AI Summary

Qatar reports positive progress in Iran-Oman negotiations on reopening the Strait of Hormuz shipping route. However, the number of vessels transiting Hormuz remains significantly low, indicating ongoing tensions and urgency to finalize agreements.

Doha said Iran and Oman had reached the technical stage of negotiations and were finalising shipping route coordinates, but warned against delay as only six vessels transited Hormuz on Monday compared with 130-140 before the war.
