What happened

Well supportedReported by 72 independent outlets

Oman is playing a pivotal role in the Strait of Hormuz, mediating between Iran and the United States. The Sultan of Oman is also visiting Britain as Britain seeks to bolster the Gulf state. Oman's ports, including Sohar, are vital for Gulf trade, though the Strait of Hormuz has been shut to normal traffic for most of the war.
