NewzIran's deputy foreign minister announced late Tuesday on state television that the Islamic Republic will not allow military vessels to transit through the Strait of Hormuz under a potential agreement currently being negotiated with Oman.
The announcement came as the top diplomats of Iran and Oman convened to discuss the management of commercial shipping in the strategic waterway. The ongoing negotiations between the two nations specifically address regulatory frameworks concerning maritime traffic through the passage.
The proposed ban on military vessels marks a significant development in regional maritime policy, directly impacting the transit capabilities of foreign military forces in one of the world's most vital oil transit chokepoints.
