On July 27, local time, Khuzrian, member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Parliament, issued a statement stressing from the perspective of international law and historical treaties that Oman has no right to unilaterally define and implement ship traffic rules in the Strait of Hormuz without Iran's coordination. Khuzlian pointed out that although Iran and Oman defined the submarine continental shelf boundary in 1974 based on the bisection line principle, the territorial waters of the two countries with a width of less than 24 nautical miles have not yet completed demarcation. This means that if the waters reach a width of 24 nautical miles, they will respectively constitute Iran's 12 nautical mile territorial sea and Oman's 12 nautical mile territorial sea, but in the current undemarcated state, there is no legal basis for any unilateral action. He further quoted historical documents to explain that the two countries issued a joint statement on March 7, 1974 during Sultan Qaboos's visit to Tehran, clearly replacing “maritime demarcation” with “security cooperation” and implementing joint jurisdiction over the Strait of Hormuz. This arrangement essentially establishes the “right to shared use” of the two countries in the strait, and any major decision involving navigation through the strait requires consensus between the two sides.
