Iran's Foreign Ministry has announced that it will hold talks with Gulf states in Oman on Monday to discuss the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian officials, the meeting is intended to promote a better understanding among the countries in the region.
Prior to the ongoing conflict, the Strait of Hormuz was free to transit. However, Iran now requires vessels to obtain permission before passing through the strategic waterway and is actively considering a mechanism to impose service fees on shipping.
