HIGHThreat Assessment
Iran's Foreign Minister asserts that Iran and Oman will decide the future of the Strait of Hormuz, signaling Iran's intent to maintain control over this critical chokepoint amid an active escalation with the US and Israel. This statement reinforces Iran's blockade threat and exclusionary policy toward US-aligned vessels, representing a significant escalation signal that could formalize Iran's stranglehold on global oil transit and invite counteraction from the UAE and US forces.
