Iran threatens Strait of Hormuz closure
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that Tehran has proposed a temporary plan to the Sultanate of Oman to resume navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The plan includes allowing ships to pass in a single file along the Iranian waters, with part of the opposite lane also permitted within Iranian waters. Iran rejected the Omani proposal, which suggests dividing the lanes equally, believing that it does not address Tehran's security concerns. Gharibabadi emphasized that the strait will remain closed if Oman does not accept the proposal. This move is part of efforts to avoid disruptions in oil trade, with Gulf countries supporting the Omani initiative to collect voluntary transit fees, aiming to reduce Iranian dominance over the strait and promote regional cooperation.
