Iran says it may prohibit military vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz if negotiations with Oman on a ship-traffic framework are finalized. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister makes the warning in remarks carried by state television, linking the potential restriction to an emerging agreement on managing maritime traffic in the strait.
Multiple outlets report that the discussions involve Oman and aim to establish new rules for how ships move through the key waterway. While the coverage largely agrees on the substance—that a military-ship exclusion is being discussed—details vary. Some reports describe the understanding as a “framework” or an “agreement” under negotiation, while others present it as a potential plan that would come into effect if concluded. Together, the reporting portrays the issue as part of wider regional efforts to regulate shipping routes and reflects Iran’s stated position on how military traffic would be handled.
Any final implementation would depend on whether the Oman talks are completed and formalized, according to the accounts summarized by the outlets.
