As part of preparations for an agreement with Oman, Iran has proposed banning US ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to infohub.kz.
As reported by RBC citing the Fars news agency, Iran's parliament is considering a ban on US vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, as well as on cargo linked to Israel, and the introduction of tolls for passage through the strait.
Under the document, Iran would retain control over vessels entering the Strait of Hormuz, while exit would be managed jointly with Oman. The US insists on free navigation without permits or fees, while Tehran links the full opening of the strait to the lifting of the American naval blockade.
Earlier, Iran stated that it was negotiating with Oman to establish a temporary safe route through the Strait of Hormuz. Later, reports emerged that Iran and Oman had agreed on a plan to open shipping along two separate routes.
Additionally, a few days ago, Donald Trump said that US-Iran talks were "going very well" and hinted that a breakthrough could occur within 48 hours. The American leader directly linked the talks to the resumption of operations in the Strait of Hormuz.
