At the narrow passage where a fifth of the world's oil flows between continents, Iran has signaled a rare willingness to accept limits on its own military presence — not as surrender, but as strategy. In negotiations mediated by Oman, Tehran is exploring whether voluntary restraint in the Strait of Hormuz might purchase a more stable future than the confrontations that have defined the waterway in recent years. It is a moment that asks whether sovereign power, carefully reframed, can become the architecture of peace rather than the instrument of threat.

Iran seeks to legitimize its naval presence while constraining rival powers (US, Gulf states) through multilateral agreement. Oman positions itself as neutral mediator, enhancing its diplomatic influence. Potential restrictions could shift maritime control dynamics favoring Iran if enforcement favors regional actors over external powers.
Similar to 1971 British withdrawal from Gulf, creating power vacuum that regional actors attempted to fill through bilateral agreements and naval posturing.
