Oman proposed a joint regional mechanism for the strait with 'voluntary fees', modelled on the Strait of Malacca, Reuters reported on 28 July, citing a Gulf source and a Western diplomat, as carried by Al Jazeera. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told state media Iran rejects an equal division of transit routes with Oman, proposing to manage shipping on its side while Oman manages part of the opposite lane, said Iran has 'no plans to negotiate with the US', and warned Iran would consider 'any action', including resuming war, to keep control. GCC foreign ministers held a video call on navigation the same day, according to Qatar's foreign ministry.
