Oman rejects Iran Strait of Hormuz fees

A high-ranking regional official has confirmed that Oman declined a voluntary fee proposal from Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz, despite the IRGC previously announcing an agreement on revenue-sharing terms. The system Iran proposed would have collected fees from commercial ships transiting the strait to fund environmental and security services there. Muscat's refusal avoids potential conflict with US President Donald Trump, who has threatened military action against Oman for assisting Iran with strait tolls. This creates a stark contrast between Tehran's claim of a settled deal and Oman's clear denial of any such arrangement. Source: New York Post / Writer: Daniyal
