Ali Khazrian, a member of Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said Monday that Iran will manage the Strait of Hormuz with or without Oman's cooperation, according to Iranian media. He accused Oman of providing refueling stations to US vessels and warned that Oman would become a target if it does not cooperate with Iran.
This morning, Ali Khazrian, a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated that Iran will manage the Strait of Hormuz with or without Oman's cooperation. He accused Oman of providing refueling stations to US vessels and warned that Oman would become a target if it cooperates with the 'enemy' rather than Iran. The statement was reported by Iranian media outlets.
The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of similar statements from Iranian officials asserting control over the Strait of Hormuz. In recent weeks, the parliament speaker, foreign minister, and other committee members have made comparable declarations, all emphasizing Tehran's sovereign claims over the strategic waterway and warning against foreign intervention. This latest statement from Khazrian adds a direct threat to Oman, a neighboring state that has historically maintained a balancing role between Iran and the West.
