Iran, Oman said nearing deal splitting Hormuz control and revenue from ‘fees’ between them

Iran and Oman are nearing a deal on the Strait of Hormuz that would reopen the waterway but hand Iran unprecedented control over it, stating officials with knowledge of the matter.

The pact would reportedly have ships entering the Persian Gulf cross the strait in a route close to Iran’s coast and controlled by the Islamic Republic. They would be required to pay “service fees,” with revenue divided equally between Iran and Oman, Iranian officials are cited as saying.

Vessels leaving the area would use a route near Oman’s coast.

The report cites a US official as casting the Iranian description of the deal as “not accurate,” asserting that “temporary” routes inaugurated by it would not require Iranian approval or paying tolls.

Trump now saying: if the Strait of Hormuz is not completely opened, he will use a force greater than ever before, a decapitating force.

We're again turning a new page headed toward war, we will soon see.
