Europe is studying proposals that could allow the imposition of navigation fees in the Strait of Hormuz, as long as these fees are not mandatory and have the support of the UN agency that regulates maritime transport. British Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has said that imposing mandatory fees would be disastrous. However, some of his cabinet colleagues said they accepted that payment systems for certain navigation services were permissible on many natural waterways, including the Strait of Malacca and the English Channel. This comes at a time when US officials have urged Iran to make a public statement that the Strait of Hormuz is open and that ships using this vital corridor will no longer be attacked. US President Donald Trump reiterated on Friday that he considers the temporary ceasefire agreement “finished,” but added that the United States will continue talks with the aim of reaching a permanent end to the war. A few hours later, the US president issued new threats against Iran in case he tried to assassinate him, declaring that “1000 missiles are ready to be launched and are aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran. ”A proposal for the Strait of Hormuz, based on the principles that apply to the Strait of Malacca, has already been drawn up by Oman in collaboration with British lawyers. Muscat has now offered to send its legal experts to Tehran to explain the plan in detail. Iranian state media reported on Friday that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will travel to Oman on Saturday for talks on the strait. The visit “will focus on the Strait of Hormuz and navigation security” and is “a continuation of consultations we have started with Oman over the past one or two months,” the official Iranian news agency IRNA quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei as saying.
