AP: Iran, Oman to charge fees for Hormuz passage under ceasefire Iran and Oman will be allowed to charge fees on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz as part of a two-week ceasefire deal mediated by Pakistan, The Associated Press reported, citing a regional official. The official, who was directly involved in the negotiations, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss internal deliberations.
The official said Iran plans to use the revenue for reconstruction, while it was not immediately clear how Oman would use its share. Iran and Oman share territorial rights over the strategic waterway.
