Behnaam Talebloo, senior director of the Iran program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said that in the event of an agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a media war over who caused the strait to be opened will begin. He added that even if the Islamic Republic does not charge fees for the passage of ships, recognition of its role through Oman would be a deterrent advantage for Tehran.

Talebloo said this matter could cause trouble for Donald Trump in the short term and even put pressure on him to back away from the agreement, although his current priority is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
