Ignoring Trump's warning, Iran's parliament to approve 'sovereign control' plan over Strait of Hormuz

BlockBeats News, May 30th. According to Iranian media, Salimi, a member of the Iranian Parliament's presiding board, stated that Iran's plan to "exercise sovereignty" over the Strait of Hormuz is set to be approved by the parliament and is expected to be enacted as a permanent law. Only Iran and Oman have the authority to decide on the management of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has engaged in communication with Oman, and Oman has expressed preliminary consent. The relevant plan is expected to be finalized in the near future.

On the 28th, Trump expressed his views on Iran and Oman jointly controlling the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that Oman "will behave well" and rejected any such mechanism. "Otherwise, we will have to bomb them. No one can control the strait. The strait will be open to everyone." The United States will "closely monitor this matter," Trump added. "Oman will act like other countries; otherwise, we will have to bomb them. They understand this, so there will be no issue."
