Re-opening Hormuz dependent on US talks not Oman, IRGC says, UAE condemns Iranian attack in strait
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported36m ago
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz depends on negotiations with the United States rather than Oman. This statement follows an incident early Saturday in which the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) reported that one of its vessels was targeted by a missile while transiting the strait.
Iran's Guards have previously threatened action against vessels transiting the waterway if they are linked to Tehran's adversaries or fail to comply with Iranian directives. Concurrently, the United Arab Emirates condemned the Iranian attack in the strait as regional tensions surrounding the vital shipping route continue to escalate.
