Iran Insists Hormuz Management Belongs to Tehran and Muscat Alone

⚓ HORMUZ — Tehran is telling Washington the strait was never theirs to negotiate. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Baghaei naming only Iran and Oman excludes the US from any post-deal governance framework — directly contradicting Washington's position that PGSA tolls and transit controls are non-starters. It also signals Tehran is using Oman's reassurances against the US: Muscat vouched for Iran, now Iran cites Muscat as co-authority. The "political understanding" claimed yesterday has a structural fault line.
