opec output steady
OPEC+ set to keep output targets steady
OPEC+ kept November output targets unchanged and delayed its 2027 capacity review amid Iran-war supply disruption. Context for the exporter fiscal picture, no single-country score move.

oman sp growth up
Oman's economy to grow 3.5% in 2026 on favourable trade logistics, S&P says
S&P raised Oman's 2026 growth forecast to 3.5%, more than double the prior 1.6%, holding the rating at BBB- stable, as Omani ports bypass Hormuz and capture diverted trade.
iran oman corridor
Iran says Hormuz corridor deal with Oman to be signed soon
Rezaei said the Iran-Oman shipping corridor through Hormuz, with entry and exit points under Iranian control, is agreed and awaiting signature. This is the specific mechanism on which Iran's positive skew rests, and it is closer to signature than at any prior pass even as the near-term conflict score reaches the floor. Sourced to an Iranian official via IRIB, so it is treated as a statement of intent rather than as a concluded agreement.
hormuz corridor framework
Iran and Oman finalize Hormuz corridor revenue-sharing framework
Iran and Oman finalized a framework for a temporary Hormuz shipping corridor on Aug 26: inbound traffic through Iranian waters, outbound through Omani waters, with revenue-sharing and a coordinated 30 to 60 day mine-clearing programme, contingent on the US honouring a June MOU including lifting the blockade. This is the concrete exit that justifies retaining Iran's positive skew even as the strikes resumed. The IRGC revenue estimate inside the piece is belligerent self-report and is not used.
hormuz corridor talks
Iran, Oman discuss temporary shipping lane through Strait of Hormuz
FMs Araghchi and Albusaidi met in Tehran Aug 25 to finalize a temporary Hormuz shipping corridor, with geographic coordinates agreed and a joint statement in final drafting; Iran conditions reopening on further terms including compensation. The closest an exit has come; held the conflict score with positive skew.
hormuz shipping attacks
Ship disabled by attack in Strait of Hormuz
An oil tanker was struck by a projectile off the Omani coast in the Strait of Hormuz on Aug 25 per shipping-monitor reporting, as Iranian attacks on shipping mount while the corridor is negotiated. Oman's mediator standing does not immunize its waters.
strike pause collapse
US launches another round of attacks on Iran
CENTCOM launched a 'heavy wave' of strikes on Iranian command centers, missile and drone factories and a coastal surveillance site overnight July 29-30, ending a roughly five-night pause; IRNA reported 3 killed on Qeshm Island (state figure, direction only). The 10-day mediator proposal was never accepted; Iran conflict held near -9, not floored, on the still-live mediation channels.
oil whipsaw
Brent tops $94 as Rubio says Iran 'not serious' about a deal
Brent closed at $94.07 July 22 (+20% month-to-date), slid to ~$86 on the Oman mediation July 27-28, then jumped 7.9% to $90.74 July 29 on Trump's threat to 'hit Iran hard', ending the window near $90 after touching $100+ intraday on the Jizan strike. Extreme volatility without a sustained breakout; the Goldman $120 scenario did not materialize in-window.
oman hormuz mechanism
Oman presented regional mechanism for Hormuz to Iran, source says
Oman presented Tehran a Gulf-backed proposal for joint regional management of the Strait of Hormuz with voluntary transit fees on the Malacca model, and FM Araghchi held strait-security talks with Saudi and Omani counterparts; Brent slid to ~$86 on the diplomacy before the July 29 re-escalation. Single-sourced to anonymous officials; the exit path the Iran score protects.
hormuz war risk premium
War-risk shipping premium surges again as tensions escalate at Strait of Hormuz
uae tankers struck
UAE says Iranian missiles struck oil tankers in Strait of Hormuz, one sailor killed
UAE-flagged tankers Al Bahiyah and Mombasa were hit by Iranian cruise missiles in Omani territorial waters July 13; one Indian crew member killed, six Indian and two Ukrainian nationals injured. First direct UAE-flagged casualties: drove UAE conflict near -6 to -7 and Oman near -5 to -6.
iran six state retaliation
Iran attacks Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan and UAE after fresh US strikes over Hormuz
Iran's retaliation wave struck six Gulf/Levant states, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar (3 injured, a fighter-jet maintenance center destroyed per IRGC claims, flagged); Qatar held Iran fully legally responsible. Drove Qatar conflict near -6 to -7, Kuwait near -7 to -8, Bahrain near -7 to -8, Jordan -5 to -6.
