Oman and Iran propose charging ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz

newsJun 30, 202673715

The New York Times reports that Iran and U.S.-aligned Oman are moving forward with plans to collect payments from vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to an Iranian official and four diplomats with knowledge of the matter. The proposal would have Iran and Oman jointly gather fees for ships passing through the strategic waterway, a departure from the prewar status quo, and it is being advanced despite public objections from the United States. Diplomats and officials said indirect negotiations between Iranian and U.S. delegations are scheduled in Doha tomorrow, with mediators present and talks expected to focus on the Strait of Hormuz and regional stability. Observers quoted in coverage say the plan would represent a significant and potentially costly change to how the strait has been managed since before the conflict.

So, Donald Trump finally set up a private bank account in Oman, right? Melania, too? The kids? Maybe Barron has a contract to sell yerba mate to the ships going through the Straight.

Total Iranian victory but probably the best outcome for Trump still available since it will actually lower the price of gas before the midterms:

This is both very funny in the dark sense and also very troubling. This is a precedent that the world literally cannot afford to be set and exactly what we all knew was going to happen.

The US and Iran shooting at each other over the freedom of ships in the Strait of Hormuz despite an MOU and ceasefire shows how "Trump messed up this war so badly that the U.S. aim now is just to get back to something like the pre-war status quo. And at this point, even that looks unachievable."

NEW: Iran and Oman would collect payment for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to officials and diplomats with knowledge of the matter. Trump lost the war and the new toll deal for Iran is proof of it! www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/w...

Iran and U.S.-allied Oman are moving forward with plans to collect payment for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The payments would not be labeled a toll, but modeled off the Singapore “voluntary contributions for safe navigation.”-NYT

The Strait of Hormuz isn’t just a Middle East problem. When nearly 20% of the world’s oil flows through one chokepoint, disruptions mean higher gas, shipping, grocery, and utility costs. Americans will feel the pain long after the headlines fade. nationalsecurityjournal.org/the-economic...

The world is running out of oil. Every day we use 6-8 MILLION barrels more than we produce. We are in real danger of refineries running short in Q3. The Strait of Hormuz is CLOSED. Nothing fundamentally has changed Oil prices are down based on misplaced hope www.thecasualanalyst.com/p/oil-is-hal...

The plan would be a significant and costly change from the prewar status in the strategic waterway, underscoring how Donald Trump’s war has changed the Middle East in far-reaching and unanticipated ways.

Incredible. Trump's surrender is comprehensive. This will raise prices on everything that transits the strait: oil, gas, fertilizer, you name it. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/w...
