Oman Proposes Shared Governance Model to Reduce Iran's Control Over Strait of Hormuz

Oman has put forward a proposal to restructure the governance of the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to reduce Iran's exclusive hold over the critical waterway. The plan is modeled after the Strait of Malacca framework, where user nations voluntarily contribute funds toward navigation safety, environmental protection, and search-and-rescue operations. Under this model, countries that rely on the Hormuz passage for trade would share responsibility for maintaining and securing it. The proposal seeks to internationalize oversight of the strait, which is one of the world's most strategically vital oil shipping routes. If adopted, the framework could dilute Iran's singular leverage over a chokepoint through which a significant portion of global energy supplies passes.

Punjab Has Most Reserved Dalit Seats Yet Community Wields Little Political Power

Punjab reserves 34 of its 117 assembly constituencies for the Dalit community, the highest proportion of reserved seats in any Indian state. Despite this significant legislative representation, Dalits in Punjab are widely seen as holding limited real political power. The gap between numerical representation and actual influence points to a deeper structural paradox within the state's political system. Analysts suggest that reserved seats alone have not translated into meaningful decision-making authority for the Dalit community in Punjab.
