Oman reportedly declined Iran’s request to jointly charge commercial ships for environmental and security services in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a regional official cited by The Post. The Details: •    Fee proposal: Oman rejected charging fees even on a voluntary basis, contradicting an earlier Iranian Revolutionary Guard statement. •    Deal status: A U.S. official said the proposed revenue-sharing terms had not been finalized, including by Tehran. •    Diplomatic contacts: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi discussed the waterway in Tehran last Tuesday. •    U.S. response: Trump had threatened to bomb Oman if it agreed to de facto tolling of the waterway. 03-SEP-2026 12:45 PM ET
