Omani Passageway in Hormuz Iran's Strait Influence
The Iranian Navy warned the Revolutionary Guard against sailing ships outside the routes designated by Tehran in the Strait of Hormuz, considering any newly announced passage without coordination with them as unacceptable and highly dangerous. In response, Oman announced that it would provide a temporary, free maritime passage through the strait, in coordination with the International Maritime Organization, to organize ship movements and ensure safe crossing without imposing fees. This Omani route, approximately 82 kilometers long, is seen as an alternative to the longer Iranian route, which is about 160 kilometers and has been experiencing increased traffic. Some sources view this option as preferable because it is free and keeps ships away from the capabilities of the Revolutionary Guard, while Iran insists that the safe passage is one that it defines and controls, emphasizing that coordination with them is mandatory.
