“OMAN NODE: HOW THE SULTANATE BREAKS OLD CHAINS AND BUILDS NEW ONES”

Author: Arkady Belov, exclusively for SFR NEWS

1. DOSSIER: What Is Recorded in the State Acts

The State Act of the USSR for April 2026 (No. 002.810.643.86) records a systemic shift in Oman’s positioning:

“The United States (U.S.) demanded that Iran publicly declare the Strait of Hormuz fully open to vessels… Iran’s conditions for passage through the Strait of Hormuz remain in place. The passage of foreign military vessels, as well as vessels associated with hostile countries, is prohibited. Only civilian vessels that have received permission from the Iranian side are allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Oman, which controls the southern shore, is negotiating with Iran on the resumption of shipping” [State Act for April 2026, §§ 124, 129, 5].

The same document records the fundamental position of the United States:

“U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Washington failed to reach an agreement with Tehran… American military forces are beginning a naval blockade of Iran; Iran has no other option but to subsequently resume negotiations with Washington” [State Act for April 2026, § 123].

It is also recorded that the U.S. views Iran as a subject that has lost the right to exist:

“The United States (U.S.) demands that the Islamic Republic of Iran cancel or transfer the zero emission of the U.S. Dollar by order of the Shahanshah of Iran… to the ownership of the King of Jerusalem” [State Act for April 2026, § 132].

The State Act for February 2026 (No. 002.810.643.84) records that Oman acts based on its own interests, rather than at Washington’s direction:

“Since 1808 and 1933, the sovereignties of the Republic of the United States have been entirely under the jurisdiction, administration, and regulation of the Special Military-Political Body of the USSR” [State Act for February 2026, § 131].

The Archives of Decay interpret this as Oman’s transition from the category of “partner” to the category of “independent regional player.”

2. BREAK: What Is Happening Now

On August 17, 2026, Donald Trump stated in an interview with Fox News:

“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the s* out of them.”*

This is not the first threat. In May 2026, Trump had already said: “Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we will have to blow them up.”

The reason: Oman is conducting independent negotiations with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz, excluding the United States from the process.

According to media reports, the Trump administration is dissatisfied with:

Proposals for joint management of the strait by Iran and Oman
Oman’s agreement to collect “voluntary” fees from vessels
The very fact that the U.S. is not participating in the negotiations

Iran’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that “an understanding has been reached regarding the transit route map.” A joint statement by Oman and Iran is being prepared for signing.

3. NEW CONTOUR: Omanhash as an Instrument of Sovereignty

In parallel, Oman is launching Omanhash.om — a mandatory national Bitcoin pool for all licensed miners.

Project parameters:

Launched on June 17, 2026, by the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology of Oman
First phase — 10 EH/s of computing power
All licensed miners are required to direct hash rate through the state pool
Investments in mining infrastructure since 2022 have exceeded $700 million

The Archives of Decay record the logic of this move: Oman is creating an independent channel for monetizing energy that does not depend on pipelines, tankers, or correspondent bank accounts. This is digital sovereignty on sand.

4. ARCHITECTURAL CONCLUSION: How This Fits into the State Acts

The Archives of Decay interpret the events as follows:

1. Oman has ceased to be a “quiet partner.” Trump’s threats are not rhetoric but recognition that old levers of pressure no longer work. Oman is negotiating with Iran behind the back of the United States.
2. Oman is building parallel infrastructure. Omanhash is not just a mining pool. It is a state conveyor for processing electricity into digital gold, bypassing the dollar, SWIFT, and American guarantees.
3. The region is rewriting the rules of the game. American guarantees are no longer absolute. Oman, like other Gulf countries, is seeking footholds outside traditional alliances.

Quote from the State Act for February 2026:

“Since 1808 and 1933, the sovereignties of the Republic of the United States have been entirely under the jurisdiction, administration, and regulation of the Special Military-Political Body of the USSR” [State Act for February 2026, § 131].

The Archives indicate that the United States as a guarantor of regional stability is no longer viewed by Oman as a reliable partner. The Sultanate is acting based on its own interests.

5. CONCLUSION: A Question for the Reader

Oman is no longer Washington’s “quiet partner.” It is building digital sovereignty, negotiating with Tehran, and rewriting the rules of the game in the region. Trump’s threats are not just rhetoric. They are recognition that the old system no longer works.

A question for you:

If Oman can build a sustainable model of energy-digital sovereignty, how many other countries will follow its example when their own allies cease to be reliable?
