Oman's aggressive port expansion provides Iran a strategic back door to bypass Hormuz blockades and evade U.S. secondary sanctions.

Oman hosts sanctioned Iranian banks, Houthi officials, and Mahan Air agents. Washington should make it choose.

Iran says a proposed Strait of Hormuz framework with Oman would exclude military vessels, but the White House won't say if Trump would accept it.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed Wednesday that Iran and Oman had agreed to terms to control the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran seeks new trade routes and partners as the U.S. pressures countries to sever economic ties with Tehran.

There are signs both sides could be ready to de-escalate, at least militarily, analysts say.

Oil prices dropped for a third consecutive session as Iran and Oman negotiated a framework to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Brent falling to $86.38.
