Oman Talks, Still Conditional: Iran says an Oman deal on new shipping lanes is in “final stages,” but reopening remains tied to US concessions; Tehran also says there are no direct US-Iran talks, only intermediary messages.

Security Leadership Shake-up: Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei appoints former IRGC commander Mohsen Rezaee as representative to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, replacing Mohammad Baqer Zolghadr.
