Iran Rejects Oman's Proposal for Joint Management of Hormuz Strait

Iran has rejected Oman's proposal for regional joint management of the Strait of Hormuz, according to a senior Iranian official. The official said the initiative has no chance of being accepted by Tehran.

Iran also accused the United States and Saudi Arabia of pressuring Oman to promote what it described as unrealistic plans for the strategically important waterway. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most critical energy shipping routes, making any proposal involving its governance highly sensitive amid ongoing regional tensions.
