However, Tehran ruled out Oman's proposal for regional joint management of ‌the strait, saying it had no chance of success. The US and Saudi Arabia are trying to pressure Oman to advance their "unrealistic plans" regarding the strategic strait, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Wednesday. Iran insisted the entire inbound route through the strait and part of the outbound route must be under Iranian control, the official said. Speaking to state TV in Iran, an Iranian defence official strongly denied any ​connection ​between projectiles fired from other countries towards Saudi targets. The unnamed military official said attributing attacks on US interests in the region to Iran was a "major miscalculation".
