Summary
Iran and Oman have reportedly proposed a joint administration of the Strait of Hormuz, including the collection of administrative fees, sparking fears among oil investors that similar tolls could be introduced on the Strait of Malacca — one of the world's most critical energy and trade choke points. The U.S. and Iran recently agreed to a 60-day MOU ensuring safe navigation through Hormuz, but the prospect of maritime tolls has raised broader concerns about the precedent this could set for other strategic waterways.
