Iran and Oman Near Strait of Hormuz Transit Deal; U.S. Disputes Tehran's Claims

Iran says it and Oman are finalizing a transit route through the Strait of Hormuz, with Tehran claiming a service fee and equal revenue-sharing. A U.S. official called that "not accurate," saying temporary routes require no Iranian approvals or tolls. The strait has been closed since Iran retaliated for U.S. and Israeli attacks in 2026.
