The Strait may well have some, but the traffic separation scheme for shipping is absolutely in Omani territorial waters, and another part of traversing the Strait includes passing through Iranian territorial waters.

Ok, so just de facto iranian.
However, I believe Oman also collects fees. So in practice the distinction wrt shipping is moot
Oman doesn't collect fees...
> Ok, so just de facto iranian.
No, the route is entirely outside of Iranian waters. They attacked ships that were in Oman waters and put mines in Oman waters and now shoot at anyone trying to removing those mines in Oman waters. Nobody, not even the Iranian government, claims that is their water.
ok, I guess the strait is just straight iranian
