Iran Warns of Military Ship Ban in Hormuz Under Oman Deal; US Threatens to Bomb Oman

Iran announced it would block military vessels from passing through the Strait of Hormuz under a deal with Oman, a move backed by its Deputy Foreign Minister. The US threatened to bomb Oman if it interfered with the agreement, as tensions escalate amid ongoing conflict. The strait, critical for global oil transit, remains largely closed six months into the war.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister stated on state television that the Islamic Republic would not allow military vessels to transit through the Strait of Hormuz under an agreement being negotiated with Oman. The two nations are discussing the management of commercial shipping in the vital waterway, which has been largely shut down since the war began. Officials in Thailand mentioned the USS Lincoln's scheduled stopover, indicating continued international naval activity in the region.
