Omani-European Proposal Proposes Optional Maritime Fees in the Strait of Hormuz
International reports, including The Guardian, have accused the Oman-European proposal that allows the optional imposition of fees on navigation services in the Strait of Hormuz of attempting to organize passage in a manner that reduces tension and promotes cooperation. However, it does not include the mandatory imposition of fees, with support from the International Maritime Organization. The proposal aims to improve safety and environmental security, based on similar models in the Strait of Malacca. Meanwhile, Iran faces internal divisions regarding adherence to it, amid international pressures for Tehran to clarify its position. Omani officials emphasize that the right of passage through the strait is guaranteed by international law, focusing on voluntary arrangements to ensure safety, amid rising tensions between Washington and Tehran and their impact on oil markets.
