Event details
Qatar confirmed technical talks between Iran and the United States were continuing with no high-level meetings scheduled, and Vice President Vance said talks were going well. CENTCOM said its commander spoke with regional military counterparts about the security environment including the strait. Oman delivered a proposal to the United States and allies for shipping companies to pay service fees to use the waterway.
Context
The Omani fee proposal is the compromise that keeps resurfacing: Washington objects to a charge controlled by Iran, not to a charge in principle, which leaves the door open to a tolled strait under someone else's flag.
