The media quoted a senior Iranian source and two regional officials as reporting that the proposed Iran-Oman agreement would give Iran control over ships entering the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, which is one of the biggest concessions Iran has received so far. A senior Iranian official revealed that Iran is seeking to charge ships using the strait a fee equivalent to 5% to 7% of the value of the goods. Oman is discussing a lower fee of about 3%, while Washington wants no fees at all.
