Oman has backed Iran's proposal to introduce maritime service fees for ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, while rejecting transit tolls that would violate international law. Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi said the charges would support navigation safety, pollution control, and emergency preparedness, similar to systems used in the Strait of Malacca. Muscat also reaffirmed that future governance of the vital waterway must comply with international law and acknowledged Iran's key security role. The comments come after the first Iran-Oman Hormuz committee meeting and a Tehran-Washington understanding aimed at restoring commercial shipping through the strategically crucial chokepoint. #Iran #Oman #StraitOfHormuz #Hormuz #MiddleEast #OilMarkets #GlobalTrade #Shipping #Maritime #BreakingNews #IranNews #WorldNews #EnergySecurity #PersianGulf #Geopolitics #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ----------------------------
