Proposal reportedly outlines a system for shipping Cos. to pay "service fees" for using the waterway, though sources differ on whether Oman is actively pushing for a fee-based structure.
White House spokesperson Kelly stated that Trump remains firm that Iran cannot impose tolls on the international waterway, amid ongoing negotiations in Doha involving US special envoy Witkoff and Kushner.
The discussions follow a June ceasefire agreement that requires Iran to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels; the current proposal is expected to be a key topic in technical talks between US and Iranian delegations scheduled for tomorrow.
The regional diplomat said the proposal, which has not been finalized, outlines a plan for shipping companies to pay service fees to use the strait, but they would not be called tolls. The diplomat did not elaborate on the difference between a service fee and a toll.
Significant disagreements remain over the proposal, noting it is expected to be one of the topics discussed in the talks in Doha this week.
