Omani Offer to Iran on Strait Gathers Support
Oman proposed to Iran a joint regional mechanism to manage the Strait of Hormuz through voluntary fees, whereby navigation services, environmental protection, and search and rescue operations would be funded voluntarily by the users of the waterway, in line with the Malacca Strait model. This proposal enjoys regional support and aims to prevent Iran from exerting unilateral control over the strait. It is a step intended to promote stability and reduce tensions in the region. This initiative comes amid deteriorating US-Iran relations, with limited diplomatic and military engagement, and growing concerns over escalations that could impact global energy supplies, especially since around one-fifth of the world's energy supplies pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
