According to a single report, Oman, under US auspices, has warned European allies and other countries that they may need to pay millions of dollars to Iran and Oman for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz starting Sunday. The claim has not been independently verified.
A single-claim report via the source states that Oman, operating under US auspices, has warned European allies and other countries that they may have to pay millions of dollars to Iran and Oman for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with the fees potentially taking effect as early as Sunday. The warning—if accurate—would mark an escalation in the ongoing dispute over maritime transit fees in the strategic waterway. The development is reported by a single source, and no official confirmation has been provided by US, Omani, or Iranian authorities. The Zioneer has previously covered the broader tensions over Strait of Hormuz tolls, including Iranian threats and US responses, but this specific warning from Oman is new and unverified.
