Iran rules out Oman's plan for Hormuz management
Iran rejected Oman's proposal for joint management of the Strait of Hormuz, stating it lacks potential for success, according to a senior Iranian official. The official criticized U.S. and Saudi pressure on Oman to support what he termed 'unrealistic plans' and emphasized that Iran's own proposal for reopening the strait would not be accepted if Muscat did not comply. Tehran's stance indicates ongoing tensions over control and security in this strategic waterway, which is vital for global oil transit.
