Oman has quietly rejected Iran's proposal to charge service fees for commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, including voluntary fees, according to a New York Post report citing regional officials. A U.S. official said the terms of the revenue-sharing agreement had not even been finalized by Tehran. The development contradicts the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's earlier claim of a bilateral deal.
Oman Rejects Iran's Hormuz Strait Toll Proposal
Oman has quietly rejected Iran's proposal to impose service fees on commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by the New York Post on September 4, citing informed regional officials. The officials said Oman refused to agree to collect environmental and security service fees, even on a voluntary basis.
An earlier claim by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that the two countries had reached an agreement was not true. A U.S. official told the Post that the terms of the proposed revenue-sharing agreement had not even been finalized by Tehran. The denial follows a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Busaidi in Tehran, after which Revolutionary Guard spokesman Hossein had stated that the two sides had reached an agreement on the demarcation of waters in the Strait of Hormuz and revenue distribution.
