Oman has presented Iran with a proposal backed by Gulf states aimed at managing the Strait of Hormuz, which includes voluntary fees for passage through the critical waterway. The plan was revealed by a regional source and a Western diplomat speaking to Reuters on Tuesday. This initiative could serve as a foundation for resolving trade disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. The situation escalated after U.S. and Israeli attacks on March 28, prompting Iran to effectively close the strait to foreign vessels. A partial agreement between the U.S. and Iran last month reopened the strait, but the deal collapsed early July following Iranian attacks on commercial ships. Iran has emphasized its desire to manage the strait alongside Oman, which controls the opposite shore, and to impose fees on vessels using the route. However, Washington aims to restore the pre-war status quo, where ships could pass freely without any tolls, arguing that mandatory fees would be illegal. According to Oman's proposal, Iran would not have exclusive control over the strait, and the fees would be voluntary. A regional source and a Western diplomat told Reuters that the system would resemble the one in the Asian Malacca Strait, where Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore allow crews to decide whether to pay voluntary contributions for funding navigation, environmental protection, and search-and-rescue operations. The Western diplomat compared this to the voluntary carbon tax on flights, where passengers can choose to pay extra to reduce their emissions. As of Monday evening, there had been no formal response from Iran to the proposal. Oman officials met with Iranians in Tehran during the weekend. Meanwhile, oil prices fluctuated amid the geopolitical tensions. On London’s market, crude oil traded at $86.55 per barrel, down $1.81 from the previous day’s close. In the U.S., oil prices fell $1.49 to $81.12 per barrel. A ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. over the weekend influenced traders’ calculations at the start of the new week. American Undersecretary of State Mike Waltz stated on Fox News Sunday that President Donald Trump decided to pause attacks to provide more time for diplomacy. According to Ole Hvalbye from SEB Research, both sides have not launched attacks since last Friday but have not reached any framework or verification mechanism nor set deadlines. On Monday, Trump announced that Washington is having “good talks” with Iran and that there is a possibility of resolving the conflict, noting again that U.S. attacks could resume if negotiations fail. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi spoke separately by phone with Oman’s and Saudi Arabia’s counterparts, Badr Al-Busaid and Faisal bin Farhan, according to the Iranian news agency Mehr. The heads of diplomacy from Iran, Oman, and Saudi Arabia emphasized joint cooperation in establishing stability in the region and eliminating uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz, as noted by Mehr. On Tuesday, Oman presented Iran with a proposal for establishing a common regional mechanism for managing the strait, including voluntary payments to Tehran, according to a regional source for Reuters. Oman received support from Gulf states for this plan, as noted by Reuters. However, Iran’s spokesperson for the military, Abolfazl Zolfaqari, stated on Tuesday that Tehran prohibits passage for all companies and countries that accept the suggestion of U.S. President Donald Trump to charge damages from the blockade using frozen Iranian assets. Traffic through Hormuz remains weak, but discussions between Oman and Iran have encouraged the market, according to analyst Giovanni Staunovo from UBS. Analysts from Commerzbank highlighted that the scale of the price drop is likely exaggerated and motivated solely by hope that the situation will improve. Goldman Sachs estimates that the price of Brent crude will stabilize around $80 per barrel by year-end if the Strait of Hormuz fully reopens by the fourth quarter, but new potential risks include disruptions in the Red Sea. Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement blocked Saudi ports in the Red Sea at the beginning of last week, citing the Saudi blockade of Yemen as justification. The group attacked several Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. Over the weekend, Saudi Arabia attacked Yemen’s port of Hudaydah, and Ansar Allah retaliated with attacks on refineries in Jannoub and Jazan, with a daily refining capacity of 400,000 barrels. The detour via the Suez Canal and around Africa takes approximately three times longer and costs nearly double, calculated at around $2.87 million, based on data from LSEG. Separate calculations by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) show that the price of a basket of crude oil from its members dropped $8.30 to $88.91 on Monday. The U.S. paused attacks on Iran to give space for negotiations, according to Mike Waltz, who did not disclose further details about the nature of these talks. Between Iran and the U.S., a lull in conflicts was recorded over the weekend. The Pentagon paused bombing after thirteen nights of increasingly intense attacks, and there were no reports of Iranian attacks on neighboring countries in the past two days. An unnamed senior official in Trump’s administration told Reuters on Saturday that the U.S. president has always been clear that he prefers diplomacy but also shows Iran what will happen if it does not approach the negotiating table seriously. An Iranian source on Sunday announced that Iran would also suspend attacks as long as the U.S. does so. The source stated that Iran’s approach remains "attack for attack": if attacks stop, Iran will also halt its operations. That message has already been conveyed to the United States, according to Reuters. However, the source emphasized that skepticism outweighs optimism regarding the suspension of attacks, noting that the prevailing view is that it is a tactical pause rather than genuine.

Plan je predložen zajedno s drugim zaljevskim državama i može pomoći u stabilizaciji trgovine kroz tjesnac, koja je bila poremećena američko-izraelskim ratom protiv Irana. Iran je zatvorio tjesnac za strane brodove nakon napada 28. veljače, a sporazum između SAD-a i Irana je bio djelimično uspješan, ali je propao nakon što je Iran pucao na strane brodove. Prema omanskom prijedlogu, Iran ne bi imao isključivu kontrolu nad tjesnacem, a naknade bi bile dobrovoljne, slično sistemu u Malajskom prolazu. Zapadni diplomat je uspoređivao ovaj sustav s dobrovoljnim porezom na ugljik za letove. Do sada nema formalnog odgovora Irana, a Omanski dužnosnici su se susretali s iranskim stranicama u Teheranu.
