Oman and the Politics of the Strait of Hormuz

Original: No Power Can Master Hormuz: Oman and the Politics of Maritime Interdependence

The Arab Center Washington DC has published an analysis titled 'No Power Can Master Hormuz: Oman and the Politics of Maritime Interdependence'. The piece examines Oman's role in the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint through which much of the world's oil passes, and argues that no outside power can fully control its waters. It frames Muscat's diplomacy as shaped by this reality of shared maritime dependence.

Why now: Ongoing tensions over Gulf shipping and the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz keep attention on Oman's balancing role.
