Oman Proposes Joint Management Plan for Strait of Hormuz with Voluntary Fees
Oman has proposed a Gulf-backed plan to Iran for jointly managing the Strait of Hormuz through voluntary fees, modeled on the Strait of Malacca system. This initiative aims to reduce tensions and restore shipping in the strategic waterway, which carries about a fifth of global oil supplies. Talks between Iran and Oman are ongoing amid a temporary lull in U.S.-Iran hostilities, with hopes that an agreement could ease maritime blockades and support broader peace efforts.
