Last update: 4 hours agoUS-Iran Ceasefire MoU: The US and Iran signed a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with an immediate and permanent halt to military operations and a 60-day negotiation track for a final deal. The US will lift its naval blockade within 30 days, while Iran pledges safe passage for commercial vessels for 60 days, and both sides link further steps to sanctions relief and nuclear talks. Nuclear Sticking Point: Iran says it will not accept transferring enriched nuclear material abroad, calling it a red line, while the UN nuclear watchdog welcomed the deal and said technical work begins now. Oman Angle—Hormuz and Maritime: With Hormuz reopening, regional shipping and oil flows are expected to improve, but analysts warn full normalisation may take time. Oman—VAT Clarification: Oman’s Tax Authority clarified that VAT in oil and gas and government contracts is calculated on the full invoice value first, then the 1.2% training and employment deduction is applied. Oman—Muttrah Cable Car: Muttrah’s cable car project is about 90% complete, with trials expected later this year, as tourism and development grow but parking and access remain challenges. Oman—Markets: Muscat Stock Exchange closed lower, with the MSX 30 down 0.67% and trading value falling to RO 28.36m.
