Iran-Oman Deal on Strait of Hormuz ‘Doesn’t Matter’ as Trump Controls Blockade, US Official Says

A purported deal between Iran and Oman to control the Strait of Hormuz and share revenue from fees is “not even close to done” and would be meaningless so long as President Trump’s blockade of Iran remains in effect, a US official told The Post.

A spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed Wednesday that the two nations had agreed to terms to control the shipping bottleneck — but The Post’s source said that ill-defined terms are still believed to lack full approval from Iran’s leadership.

“The deals don’t mean anything unless we approve it. It doesn’t matter what the two of them — Iran and Oman — do. There is no deal without Trump pulling the blockade,” the official said.

A deal is “not even close to done [and] we know for a fact that this is still subject to approval within Iran,” he added.

“The last time we heard something was subject to approval… we all know what happened to it. It died.” (Read more from “Iran-Oman Deal on Strait of Hormuz ‘Doesn’t Matter’ as Trump Controls Blockade, US Official Says” HERE)
