A senior Iranian source told an Arabic-language channel that under the temporary plan being discussed with Oman, Tehran will have full control over incoming vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Outgoing vessels will use a lane between Iran and Oman, with Omani authorities notifying Iran before any ship is permitted to exit, according to the report.
An Arabic-language the source, citing a senior Iranian source, reported Tuesday that the temporary plan being discussed with Oman grants Tehran full control over all incoming vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Under the arrangement, outgoing vessels would use a lane between Iran and Oman, with Omani authorities required to notify Iran before any ship is permitted to exit the waterway.
The report adds to a series of confirmations of the same emerging framework. Earlier Tuesday, a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran is unlikely to accept alternative proposals, and that the plan requires Omani notification before vessel exit. The New York Times later reported that Iran will control all incoming traffic and collect maritime service fees, citing the agreement being negotiated.
As The Zioneer reported, the arrangement would effectively give Iran regulatory authority over the strategic waterway, through which approximately one-fifth of global oil consumption passes. The plan has drawn international attention, with the U.S. reportedly accepting a 60-day grace period before fee collection begins.
