Some major European powers now acknowledge that ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz must pay fees to Iran and Oman, according to people familiar with the matter.
According to Jin10, two sources who were briefed on internal discussions said that after the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, some form of service charge has become a foregone conclusion.
The sources added that some officials from Gulf Arab countries privately hold the same view, though this may not represent their governments’ official positions.
It remains unclear what type of fee, or what amount, countries would be willing to accept.
Meanwhile, the United States and Gulf Arab countries continue to insist that Iran and Oman must not levy any fees on the Strait of Hormuz.
