Iran and Oman in talks to impose permanent transit fees on Strait of Hormuz shipping

- ▪Iran has been charging fees as high as $2 million per vessel, with some payments already accepted in cryptocurrency or yuan.
- ▪The proposed framework includes a 10-point plan that allows Iran and Oman to veto shipments they consider hostile.
