An understanding between Iran and Oman establishes a basis for reopening the Strait of Hormuz but does not provide for its immediate reopening, an Iranian source told the semi-official Tasnim news agency Saturday, as Tehran prepared for talks with Gulf states.The source said the arrangement would be a step towards Iran exercising sovereignty over the strait and that reopening depended entirely on the United States meeting Tehran’s conditions.Separately, a senior Iranian official said a meeting planned for Monday in Oman would offer an opportunity to discuss the blockaded waterway and other regional issues, but was not expected to produce a signed agreement on Hormuz.Iran has been negotiating for months with Oman, which controls the opposite bank of the strait, over an arrangement governing shipping through it. Oman has long said the negotiations have the support of other Gulf Arab countries.Tehran announced on Friday that it planned to attend Monday’s meeting. Oman has not officially announced the gathering, while other regional states have largely remained silent. Bahrain said Saturday it would not attend meetings with Iran.The senior Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the meeting had been called at Oman’s initiative.Iran still seeks an agreement allowing it to collect fees from ships using the strait, a proposal Oman rejects, the official said.About a fifth of global oil supplies passed through Hormuz before the United States and Israel attacked Iran in February, launching the war.Global oil prices have surged over the past week after US and Iranian forces both fired on tankers in the strait. Iran’s Houthi allies in Yemen have also advanced near another crucial oil shipping route, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, on the opposite side of the Arabian Peninsula. Related Story Source link
Formula Two driver Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak is safe after his car burst into flames during practice on Friday. Formula Two driver Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak escaped unhurt after his car burst into flames during practice on Friday when he crashed into a safety barrier, underlining driver fears about the safety of the new Madring circuit which will host its first Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.The driver, who spun before hitting the barriers at Turn 19, emerged uninjured from the accident and managed to climb out of his cockpit on his own, even though the rear of his car was already on fire.The session was halted for around half an hour to allow time to clean the track and repair the safety barrier that had absorbed the impact.It follows last month’s testing by F3 drivers which saw 19 red flags across two days, albeit not all of them were for crashes, and concerns from Formula One drivers ahead of Sunday’s race.”When I heard about the 20 red flags in Formula 3, I was a bit surprised,” said Mercedes’s George Russell on Thursday.”But when I then drove the circuit in the simulator, I was actually more surprised that there were only 20 red flags. It’s a mad circuit.”I’d even go so far as to say it’s the riskiest track on the entire calendar.”Madring has 22 corners and features blind turns and an impressive banked corner of up to 24 degrees called ‘La Monumental’.”I’ll put my money on a red flag,” said Alpine’s Pierre Gasly.The semi-permanent circuit winds around Ifema, Madrid’s exhibition centre, and is located to the north of the city, near Real Madrid’s training complex and Barajas Airport.F1 drivers will get a first taste of the circuit during the opening free practice session later Friday. …
