Oman

Oman appears in Omission accomplished: why the Iran-war cycle spins on as the mediator proposing a temporary Strait of Hormuz truce. Greg Carlstrom says Oman proposed roughly ten days of truce and a joint regional consortium to manage Hormuz without mandatory tolls.

In this source, Oman is useful because even a narrow compromise over shipping control fails. Iran rejects the proposal and demands complete control over inbound traffic into the Persian Gulf, turning Oman into a test case for Thin Diplomatic Frameworks and Chokepoint Shipping Confidence.
