OMAN SILENTLY SHUNS IRAN’S PROPOSAL FOR STRAIT OF HORMUZ TOLL FEES — COUNTER TO IRGC'S CLAIM OF AGREEMENT - NY POST
While Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims a deal was struck, Oman has quietly dismissed Tehran’s push to impose transit fees through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite IRGC assertions of mutual understanding, Muscat has made no official move to endorse the plan. The strategic waterway, a critical oil chokepoint, remains under shared regional oversight—with Oman emphasizing stability over new levies. Officials in Muscat remain silent, but their inaction speaks volumes. Any attempt to monetize the strait risks broader backlash from global shipping and regional allies. For now, business continues as usual, with no tolls in sight. #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #StraitOfHormuz #Oman #Iran #ShippingRoutes
