Iran states it has reached an agreement with Oman over revenue distribution from the strait, with US intervention delaying the process.

According to Sepah News, the official news website of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Mohbi, spokesperson for the Guards, commented on the latest situation in the Strait of Hormuz, saying: "The Strait of Hormuz is currently under our control, and there are no enemy warships in the Persian Gulf." He added: "From a military and territorial jurisdiction perspective, no vessel can transit the waterway without Iran’s permission and compliance with its management." Mohbi stated: "The Strait of Hormuz belongs to Iran and Oman, which borders us across the sea. About a month ago, we held negotiations with Oman and reached an outcome acceptable to both sides. During these talks, the two sides agreed on the respective shares of the strait’s waters held by each country, as well as the revenue shares Iran and Oman would receive from it. The United States is interfering in this process, which has delayed the relevant work." He emphasized: "If the United States does not accept our conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will never be opened." (Jinshi)
