Oman presented Iran with a GCC-backed proposal intended to restore and regulate commercial passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The plan was described as a voluntary-fee arrangement rather than recognition of sole Iranian control, drawing on international shipping models such as the Strait of Malacca. Iran had not formally responded when the report was published. Oman framed the initiative as a practical route to reduce disruption to trade and energy supplies while keeping the waterway open.
