Iran and Oman want a new deal. They want a new ship route. The route goes through the Strait of Hormuz. This is a narrow water way. The way is mostly closed since February.
Both countries agree on the places. Iran wants money for the way. Iran wants 5 to 7 percent of the goods value. This brings much money to Iran. The USA says no to this fee.
President Donald Trump threatens Iran with attacks. He wants an open way for oil and gas. A ship reports 2 blasts near Oman. The crew is safe.
Iran says: A deal does not make the way safe. The USA must stop the block first. One fifth of all global oil flows through this water way.
