The Iranian Foreign Ministry said Monday that talks with Oman on Saturday focused on managing the Strait of Hormuz, but the US applied pressure on Oman to prevent the sides from reaching an agreement.
01 · THE DISPATCH
The statement, made hours after the Saturday talks, accuses the United States of directly intervening with Oman to block a diplomatic resolution over the strategic waterway. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran's negotiations with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz, as well as US pressure on Tehran to drop its demands for transit tolls and other restrictions. The latest claim adds a new layer of tension, with Iran explicitly blaming Washington for scuttling progress through a third party.
