Iran and Oman are negotiating new maritime security mechanisms for shipping. Discussions focus on safe passage and environmental cooperation through the Strait of Hormuz. Transit fee details are not currently being discussed by the two nations. Iran links the Strait's full opening to ending US and Israeli military aggression. The country considers itself to be in a state of war with ongoing US naval blockades.

Negotiations between Iran and Oman are moving forward according to both countries, but US involvement was not mentioned.

Fees on vessels remain major sticking point
