Comment on Why did/does Oman not raise a stink about Iran also closing their half of the strait?

Oman seems to be working extra hard to not poke either of the bears fighting in close proximity to them.
Looks like a very sensible policy to me.

Iran is shooting at them anyway, so maybe not so sensible.

Even more sensible. It can always be worse.

Yeah, Iran could make a nuke.

The USA already has them. And Oman does not, and can not get them within a reasonable time frame.
So the winning move is to let the others slug it out, even if they get hit. They don’t have enough power to act up.
