Proposed deal would give Iran control of inbound traffic, sources say (Copy)

A proposed agreement between Iran and Oman reportedly aims to grant Tehran control over maritime traffic entering the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. According to regional and Iranian sources, the deal would establish a new framework for managing inbound vessels in this critical waterway.

The Strait of Hormuz serves as a vital global energy transit route, and increased Iranian oversight of traffic in the area carries significant implications for regional security and international shipping. The proposal, if finalized, would represent a shift in the operational management of the passage.
