US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated after a meeting of Gulf Arab foreign ministers in Bahrain that none of the participating countries support imposing tolls for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio emphasized that any Iranian threat or blockage of the strait would be problematic, and Oman also reiterated on Thursday that no transit tolls will be imposed in the Strait of Hormuz.
Several oil tankers crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday via a new route introduced by a United Nations maritime body, despite threats from the Islamic Republic. Ship traffic in the strait has increased but remains below pre-war levels.
On Thursday, five oil tankers en route out of the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz altered course and returned, while three others changed their path toward the northern route near Iran's coast. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had earlier announced that all ships must pass through the Strait via the northern route and coordinate with the Islamic Republic.
