Iran's Proposal for Tolls in the Strait of Hormuz Quietly Rejected by Oman

Odaily News: Oman has quietly rejected Iran's proposal to charge service fees to commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Regional officials familiar with the matter stated that Oman refused to agree to the collection of environmental and security service fees, even on a voluntary basis, and previous claims by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that the two sides had reached an agreement were untrue. Earlier, after Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi met with Omani Foreign Minister Al Busaidi in Tehran, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman Hossein stated that the two countries had reached an agreement on the demarcation of waters in the Strait of Hormuz and the distribution of revenue.
