America’s heartbeat increased due to this secret move of Iran and Oman, preparations to capture the Strait of Hormuz?
News India Live, Digital Desk: Amidst the ongoing tension in the Middle East, a news is coming out which has created a stir from Washington to Tel Aviv. Iran and Oman are preparing a joint proposal to monitor the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important oil route. This is being seen as a major challenge for the US and its allies, because control over this sea route means taking control of the global oil supply. Preparations for a show of power in the name of surveillance: According to sources, Iran’s armed forces and Oman’s navy are working on a framework that will bring the security and traffic control of this strategic waterway under their direct influence. Although officially this is being described as a step to prevent maritime security and illegal activities, but defense experts believe that this is a deliberate strategy to directly undermine the US Navy’s presence in the region. Iran has long been demanding that the responsibility for the security of the Gulf countries should lie with the regional powers, and not with external forces. The sound of the US-Iran war and the importance of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s ‘choke point’ through which about one-fifth of the global crude oil passes. If Iran and Oman change the rules for monitoring this area, there could be difficulties for international merchant ships. The timing of this proposal is extremely important in view of the increasing military tension between America and Iran in recent times. If this proposal is implemented, Iran will get a legal basis to conduct reconnaissance of every ship passing on this route, which can cause direct harm to the interests of America and Israel. There is an uproar in the diplomatic circles, the inclusion of Oman, which has traditionally played the role of a mediator between the West and Iran, in this plan is shocking. Experts say that Oman is now becoming more vocal about its maritime sovereignty. On the other hand, America is keeping a close eye on this situation. Pentagon officials believe that any such unilateral surveillance mechanism could jeopardize freedom of navigation in international waters. In the coming days, this issue may become heated in the United Nations and other international forums.
