Iran Ratchets Up Talk of Controlling Hormuz Before New Talks | The Opening Trade 6/30/2026

Speaking to state television, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Iran wants to work out an agreement with Oman, which borders the southern side of the vital waterway, to oversee ships passing through Hormuz. But Iran will move forward with its own plans “if for any reason Oman is not interested in doing so,” he said. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe.
