Proposed Hormuz deal would give Iran control of inbound traffic: Sources
A proposed agreement between Iran and Oman could potentially grant Tehran control over ships entering the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz, according to sources. This would be a major diplomatic victory for Iran, despite ongoing disagreements over transit fees and control. While the United States has indicated a willingness to negotiate a deal, officials have stressed that they would not agree to Iran controlling access to the critical trade route.
Iran has been aggressively retaliating against US allies in the region in response to the conflict, while President Donald Trump has advocated for diplomacy. Iran reportedly seeks a 5-7 percent fee on cargoes using the strait, while Oman and the US prefer lower or no fees.
