Oman says ‘no transit fees’ in any future arrangement on Strait of Hormuz

Oman’s top diplomat says no transit fees will be imposed in the Strait of Hormuz, after Muscat and Tehran, which border the key waterway, earlier said they were discussing service “costs.”

Badr Albusaidi says “future arrangements regarding the strait do not entail the imposition of any transit fees,” during a meeting of Gulf foreign ministers in the Bahraini capital Manama with US Secretary Marco Rubio — whose administration has repeatedly opposed any fees or tolls.
