Omani proposal for Strait of Hormuz includes voluntary payments for safe passage
Sources told CNN that Oman’s proposal for the Strait of Hormuz involves voluntary payments to ensure maritime safety and environmental protection.
Oman has proposed a plan for the Strait of Hormuz that involves voluntary payments to ensure safe passage and environmental protection, according to sources speaking to CNN. This comes after Iran rejected the idea of mandatory fees on shipping traffic. On Saturday, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported that Oman and Iran had agreed on new entry and exit routes for the strait.
The entry route would be entirely within Iranian territorial waters, while a portion of the exit route would also be within these waters. Despite US pressure to reopen the southern route, the agreement states that its reopening is contingent on Tehran meeting Iran's conditions.
