Oman’s territorial waters on the southern side of the Strait of Hormuz is also rendered impassable due to Iranian threats. Since Oman is not a party to this conflict, are they just okay with Iran declaring the entire strait closed and threatening to shell ships passing even through Omani territorial waters?
There’s been endless complaining on the world stage from the United States about the strait being closed, but I haven’t seen anything from Omani officials yet.
Oman gain nothing from the ships passing through the straight right now.
However if Iran gets its way and toll the ships there would be some money flowing toward Oman.
If I am Oman, I don’t see why I would fight against that
They might care about the sovereignty of their country and don’t want to be a colony of Iran.
Iran did shoot at ships in Omani territorial waters and hit their port in their latest attack.
You must be American if you think countries only care about money.
Right now they are totally at the mercy of America.
