Multiple outlets report that Oman has signaled support for Iran’s proposed plan to impose a fee on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal, which has been described as a “post-war” or post-conflict type arrangement in some reporting, seeks to charge ships for passage through the strategic waterway. The reports add that the United States has publicly opposed the idea, citing concerns over how such a charge could affect international shipping and regional stability. Despite this US stance, Oman is said to be leaning toward supporting the plan. The accounts attribute the information to reporting about Oman’s position rather than to a directly quoted, official announcement in the provided summaries. The coverage therefore frames the development primarily as a diplomatic shift, where regional backing for Iran’s approach is emerging even as the Trump administration (as referenced in the reports) continues to oppose it. As described, the issue centers on whether a shipping fee would be implemented and who would endorse it, with Oman’s reported support representing a potential change in regional alignment.
