Odaily Planet Daily reported on the 3rd, citing Iranian and US officials, that Iran and Oman are close to reaching an agreement on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. US sources indicate that, according to the agreement, ships entering the Persian Gulf will use a channel closer to the Iranian coast and controlled by Iran, while ships exiting will use a channel closer to Oman. Several Iranian officials said that ships will need to pay a "service fee," which will be shared equally between Iran and Oman. However, a US official familiar with the negotiations stated that the Iranian officials' statements were "inaccurate," and that the establishment of any "temporary" channel in the Strait of Hormuz would not require Iranian approval and would not incur any fees for passing ships.
