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

If the US Military, the Russian Capital, and mutli-billion dollar oil companies can’t stop drones then what makes you think Oman can? Even if they could, Dubai doesn’t want to be attacked by Iran, so a fullscale ware is not what Dubai wants, either.

Dubai is in the UAE. The capital of Oman is Muscat.

Oh yeh
Why are we even talking about Oman when they’re not next to the straight, then?

They are next to the straight. Red is Iran, Blue is Oman, Green is UAE.

Zooming out further the straight opens up into the “Gulf of Oman”.

The other commenter is undoubtedly thinking about the position of the vast majority of Oman, which is disconnected from the portion shown in red and is further south on the Gulf of Oman.
It's an oddity of geography that Oman has that bit.
