Why didn't he think about doing this before we even went to war with Iran. Trump knew The Strait was going to be leveraged by Iran before we started bombing. If there was another route this whole, then wth?ROG62 » 14 minutes ago » wrote: ↑
Trump essentially pulled the rug out from under Iran’s primary source of leverage.
By opening a southern shipping corridor right along the Omani coast, they gave international tankers a clear way to completely bypass the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) checkpoints in the Hormuz Strait and northern routes.
When the Trump administration signed the Islamabad MoU on June 17, the language regarding the Strait of Hormuz was intentionally left vague—stating that Iran and Oman would jointly discuss the "future administration" of the waterway. Iran read that as a green light to establish a de facto toll booth and vetting system under the guise of maritime safety.
Oman, however, WORKING WITH TRUMP, immediately leveraged international law (specifically UNCLOS, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea) to announce that no passage fees would be permitted in their waters.
Because Oman’s route is free and legally clear, it leaves Iran's new vetting agency completely stranded with no one to tax.
