Gulf states are reportedly supporting a plan allowing Iran to voluntarily collect fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Oman brokered the agreement, seeking to de-escalate tensions and safeguard oil trade disrupted by the ongoing U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. A Gulf source confirmed the backing for the initiative on Tuesday, framing it as a potential solution to maintain shipping lanes. The plan aims to address Iranian threats to disrupt oil transport in response to the conflict. This move suggests a collective effort to avoid further escalation and economic fallout in the region. It’s a step towards managing the situation as the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continues. The voluntary nature of the fees is key to gaining acceptance from international shipping companies.
