The strait is in the territorial waters of both Oman and Iran. The world had considered the passage an international waterway and never paid tolls before."

How Trump moved from threats to a ceasefire with Iran
President Donald Trump over the course of a day went from threatening Iran with “annihilation” to proclaiming that the battered Islamic Republic’s leadership had presented a “workable” plan that led him to agree to a two-week ceasefire. Trump said he expects this to pave the way to end the nearly six-week-old war with Iran. The dramatic shift in tenor came as intermediaries, led by Pakistan, worked feverishly to head off a further escalation of the conflict. Even China quietly pulled strings to urge Iran to find a path toward a ceasefire. The president is set to meet on Wednesday with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and the emerging plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is expected to be at the center of talks.
