Iran Bars France, Oman From Hormuz Demining: "Sole Responsibility"
⚓ HORMUZ — Tehran just locked out the only actors Doha could have used to share control. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Gharibabadi's exclusion of France and Oman from demining isn't procedural — it removes every neutral party Doha negotiators could leverage to internationalize Hormuz governance. Oman was the corridor alternative; France the EU anchor. With both barred, Iran's "sole responsibility" claim converts the 80 mines still in the central route into unilateral leverage.
