Oman says no toll on Hormuz crossing, contradicts Iran's truce demand

In a move that seemed far removed from Tehran’s 10-point demands, on which the US and Iran agreed to a 14-day ceasefire deal, Oman said there were no plans to charge transit fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This development comes hours after Iran included a provision to impose joint fees with Oman in its list of demands to the US.

"We have signed all maritime transport agreements that stipulate no fees on passage through the Strait of Hormuz," said Omani Transport Minister Said bin Hamoud bin Saeed Al Maawali, as reported by Al Jazeera.
