Oman proposes Hormuz management system with voluntary fees: Reuters
The plan would let Iran collect voluntary ship fees while sharing control of the waterway, a source said, as oil trade disruptions continue.
- On Tuesday, Oman presented Iran with a proposal for a joint regional mechanism to manage the Strait of Hormuz using voluntary fees, ending sole Iranian control of the vital waterway.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi held separate calls with Saudi and Omani counterparts on Monday, emphasizing the need to strengthen cooperation and establish regional stability in the maritime passage.
- Modeled after the Strait of Malacca, the Omani proposal suggests users voluntarily contribute funds for navigation, environmental protection, and search and rescue, according to a Gulf source.
- While a pause in U.S.-Iran hostilities appeared to hold following two weeks of strikes, Saudi Arabia reported intercepting a "number of drones" allegedly launched by Iran-backed militias in Iraq targeting oil facilities.
- President Donald Trump hailed "good talks" with Iran on Monday, warning that United States strikes will resume if negotiations fail to deliver a diplomatic solution.
