A Gulf region source revealed on the 28th that Oman proposed a regional mechanism to jointly manage shipping in the Strait of Hormuz with Iran. Ships passing through the strait can donate on a voluntary basis. Currently, neither the Omani nor Iranian authorities have confirmed this news. The source, who did not wish to be named publicly, told Reuters that the new mechanism refers to the Malacca Strait management regulations, and users voluntarily donate funds related to waterway maintenance for environmental protection and search and rescue work. Oman's latest proposal has received support from a number of countries in the region. It is unclear how Iran will respond to this proposal.
