Oman Proposes Joint Management Plan for Strait of Hormuz Amid Iran Talks
Oman has proposed a joint regional mechanism, modeled on the Strait of Malacca system, to manage the Strait of Hormuz with voluntary fees, aiming to reduce Iran's sole control over the vital waterway. Iran and Oman have engaged in talks to facilitate safe passage for ships through the strait, which carries a significant portion of global oil supplies. These efforts come amid a temporary lull in U.S.-Iran tensions, with mediators hoping a short-term agreement could ease maritime blockades and support broader peace negotiations.
