Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told state TV that if the Iran-Oman understanding becomes binding, "no military vessel will be permitted to pass" through the Strait of Hormuz, with inbound traffic routed entirely through Iranian waters. He said the strait will not reopen until the U.S. lifts its blockade and ends the war "on all fronts, including Lebanon"; the Revolutionary Guard said it will stay closed until Washington accepts Iran's conditions.

Why it matters

The terms would keep the U.S. Navy out of the strait; the Trump administration has told Oman it opposes parts of the deal, including joint Iranian-Omani management of the exit route.
