Iranian source: decisions on Strait of Hormuz limited to Iran and Oman

According to reports from informed Iranian sources, decision-making regarding the Strait of Hormuz is solely the responsibility of Iran and Oman. An informed political source put forward the claim that the Strait of Hormuz falls within the territorial and internal waters of Iran and Oman, and therefore decisions concerning it are exclusively the responsibility of these two countries. This position was presented in response to media claims (such as Axios) that had published other reports on this matter.

• An informed Iranian political source rejected Axios's claim and emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz falls within the territorial and internal waters of Iran and Oman.
• Based on this position, decision-making regarding the Strait of Hormuz is exclusively the domain of Iran and Oman.
• Iranian media, based on their informed sources, disseminated the claim that no other actor has a role in decision-making regarding this region.. **Coverage Difference:** Both news outlets publishing the story (Rouydad24 and Etemad newspaper) emphasize this central point—the exclusivity of decision-making authority to Iran and Oman—however, the coverage presented is incomplete and lacks further details regarding political context, international reactions, or the full text of the discussion.
