Iran is seeking to bar United States and Israeli ships from the Strait of Hormuz and is demanding compensation from hostile nations seeking to use the waterway, according to local media reports on a proposed Iran-Oman management deal. The agreement has become central to expectations for reopening the crucial shipping lane.
In response to these developments, the United States has insisted on maintaining free transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Washington has also broadly called for a return to the prewar status quo regarding navigation rights in the region.
