Oman’s territorial waters on the southern side of the Strait of Hormuz is also rendered impassable due to Iranian threats. Since Oman is not a party to this conflict, are they just okay with Iran declaring the entire strait closed and threatening to shell ships passing even through Omani territorial waters?
There’s been endless complaining on the world stage from the United States about the strait being closed, but I haven’t seen anything from Omani officials yet.
Fortunately, the world is not composed of two empires. Both Russia and the U.S. have significant influence, yes, as does many other nations (China, the UK, France, India…)
The world is run by great powers, and behind them, people who have far too much money and power than any one person should have. That is unfortunately the world we live in. But it’s our only world we know, and I believe we should try our best to better our society, by whatever means you’re comfortable with.
