Iran, Oman Unveil Plan to Bar US Warships from Strait of Hormuz

The White House has remained silent on a proposed plan by Iran and Oman to regulate passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran claims would ban US warships from the waterway. The Trump administration previously insisted that Iran did not control access through the strait, but the new framework appears to contradict that assertion. Iran and Oman are seeking to establish a joint naval security mechanism to manage traffic in the strait. The details of the plan have yet to be made public.
