Oman quietly rejects Iran’s Hormuz toll plan

Oman's quiet rejection signals a meaningful crack in regional alignment over the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting that even neighbors are unwilling to back a plan that could disrupt global energy flows. The move matters because it shows Iran's leverage is not absolute, and it may embolden other Gulf states to resist similar pressure. Watch whether Oman's stance becomes a template for quieter diplomatic pushback, or if it triggers a recalibration of Iran's approach to the waterway's governance.
