Oman has presented Iran with a plan, supported by Gulf states, to manage the Strait of Hormuz. This proposal includes the collection of voluntary fees for passage through the vital waterway. The initiative aims to de-escalate tensions and potentially end trade disruptions in the strait, which have been linked to the "US-Israeli war on Iran."
