# Iran says Hormuz transit fee not under discussion 2026-08-10T18:55:19+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Iran is not discussing transit fees with Oman for a proposed shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei told the Economic Times. He clarified that no details of fees or revenue sharing are being considered at this stage. Tehran and Muscat have reached an understanding on a traffic map, but some technical points remain under negotiation. Baghaei said the Strait is not fully safe due to what Iran calls US and Israeli military aggression and a naval blockade. He added that Iran considers itself still at war and that any agreement with Oman alone will not reopen the waterway. Talks also cover environmental issues, maritime services, and combating crime. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: Iran, Maritime security, Oman, shipping, Strait of Hormuz, US-Iran tensions Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-says-hormuz-transit-fee-not-under-discussion/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
