Iran’s proposal to require vessels to pay a fee for passage through the Strait of Hormuz is reported to be gaining support from Oman, despite opposition from the United States. Multiple Indian outlets report that Oman has lent its backing to the post-war idea, which Iran has put forward as a way to impose costs on ships using the strategically critical waterway. The reporting highlights that the Trump administration has publicly objected to the plan. While the sources agree on Oman’s reported support and the existence of US objections, they do not provide detailed terms of how the fee would be implemented, who would collect it, or how disputes would be resolved. The accounts also frame the proposal as an extension of Iran’s wider post-war approach, rather than as an immediate, fully ratified policy. Overall, the coverage indicates that negotiations or alignment among regional parties may be progressing even as the United States signals resistance to any change that would alter the current shipping regime in the Strait of Hormuz.
