Iran and Oman have been granted the right to charge fees to ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz as part of a two-week truce with the United States brokered by international partners.
It was reported by the Associated Press, citing a source in the region. "The two-week ceasefire plan includes allowing both Iran and Oman to charge fees on ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz," the source said.
According to him, Iran plans to use the funds to restore infrastructure after the fighting, while Oman's intentions regarding these revenues are not yet specified.
The Strait of Hormuz, which passes through the territorial waters of Iran and Oman, was previously considered an international route and remained free for navigation before the escalation of the conflict caused by the actions of the United States and Israel.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, US President Donald Trump announced "the death of an entire civilization" if Iran does not agree to a peace deal or unblocks shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the achievement of a two-week truce with the United States and said that Tehran will resume shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
