Tehran Demands Joint Iran-Oman Authority Over Hormuz Arrangements
⚓ HORMUZ — Iran names its price: joint control with Oman, not capitulation. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Tehran's formula reframes reopening as a sovereignty arrangement, not a concession. Inserting Oman as co-manager gives Iran a multilateral shield — the strait reopens without yielding to US pressure. This directly pre-conditions Oman's draft shipping plan. Washington must now decide if joint Omani-Iranian Hormuz governance is an acceptable off-ramp.
