Iran attempting to reassert regional maritime control and challenge US naval dominance in the Strait of Hormuz; Oman positioned as mediator but resisting Iranian unilateral control; US sanctions regime constraining Iran's negotiating leverage; potential shift in Gulf shipping dynamics if agreement materializes, but limited by Western financial/insurance systems.
