Accounts differ on the status of the Strait of Hormuz. The Gulf bloc reported that Iran and the United States agreed to set up communications lines to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, while the other bloc reported that Iran said it was closing the Strait of Hormuz again over Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Al Arabiya also reported that Iran and the United States agreed to set up communications lines to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

Al Arabiya reported that Iran and the United States agreed on a 60‑day roadmap toward a final deal and that a mechanism for further technical talks and a contact channel to avoid incidents and miscommunication at the Strait of Hormuz were created.
