Iran and Oman have tentatively agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz using a split-traffic model and a new service fee, leading to a sharp decline in global oil prices.

News detail

Under the current proposal, ships entering the strait would use the channel closest to Iran, with Iran coordinating inbound traffic, while vessels leaving the strait would use the Omani side, with Muscat managing outbound traffic. The proposal also includes a "service fee," with the revenue split between Iran and Oman. According to the source, the broad outlines have largely been agreed upon, with the remaining discussions focused on implementation and timing.
