Iran’s ambassador to Russia said the Strait of Hormuz will reopen but only after Iran and Oman impose new conditions, including transit fees for vessels. Some vessels continue to transit under opaque conditions, with many switching off transponders and traveling in dark mode.
U.S. officials were told by the Omani ambassador that there are no plans to introduce tolls. The same officials described any toll regime as a non-starter during indirect talks with Iran.
““Of course, this strait will be open, but with new conditions to be determined by the Iranian and Omani authorities.””
Iran has reportedly sought provisions allowing Tehran to charge transit fees as part of any broader agreement to end the conflict.
