The wait dragged on for an Iranian deal with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz, as the Islamic Republic’s top envoy said direct talks with the US were currently impossible.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who said a pact to establish a temporary shipping route through the global energy chokepoint is “very close,” on Sunday criticized what he described as US violations of a short-lived interim peace agreement signed in June.

On today’s show, Bloomberg This Weekend hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini speak with:

- Abeer Abu Omar, Bloomberg News, Middle East Correspondent, and Skylar Woodhouse, Bloomberg News, White House Correspondent, discuss the latest on the Iran war as Iran has rejected the US's latest talks for a deal on the Strait of Hormuz.

- Rep. Haley Stevens, (D) Michigan, talks the future of the Democratic party and how Michigan democrats vow to unite behind El-Sayed. Abby Livingston, Puck News, Washington Writer, contributes.

- Imo Bell, Royal Observatory Greenwich, Planetarium Astronomer, explains why the total solar eclipse over the United Kingdom, Spain and Iceland is so special and what we can learn from it.

- Plus, Christina, David, and Lisa Mateo discuss the stories you might have missed this week on BTW.
