Iran and Oman are inching toward a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and potentially help bring an end to the war. A mass funeral was also held on Tuesday in Gaza City for more than 100 Palestinians recovered from the rubble of an Israeli airstrike nearly three years ago. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels say they have fired at Saudi Arabia. Israeli and Lebanese officials are continuing talks to implement a deal to disarm the Hezbollah militant group and drawdown the Israeli military.
