As a reminder, Oman had previously opened a temporary corridor in the Strait of Hormuz off its coast to allow ships to pass through and avoid approaching the Iranian coast. Iran still wants to charge fees for passage through the strait.

Fertilizer exports through the Strait of Hormuz have risen to pre-war levels, according to Bloomberg.
