New Delhi ( The Indian View team) : <\/strong>The \u200cUnited States warned Oman on Thursday (May 28) not \u2060to get directly or indirectly involved in any \u200ceffort to impose a toll \u200cin the \u200cStrait \u2060of Hormuz, saying \u2060it will penalise any partners involved in such a system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u200cUnited States Government will not tolerate any effort to impose \u200ca tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d \u2060U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in \u200ca post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oman, in particular, should know that the U.S. Treasury will aggressively target \u200cany actors involved – directly or indirectly – in facilitating tolls for \u2060the Strait and any willing \u2060partners will be penalised,\u201d Mr. Bessent \u200cadded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did Trump suddenly mention Oman?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comments came after reports that Iran and Oman had discussed possible maritime arrangements linked to the Strait of Hormuz, including a potential payment framework tied to shipping management and security services. Trump rejected any suggestion that Iran or Oman could oversee the strategic waterway. It\u2019s international waters. Nobody\u2019s going to control it. We\u2019re going to watch over it,\u201d he said during a White House Cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Oman important in the Hormuz crisis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oman occupies one of the most strategically sensitive locations in the Gulf. The Gulf of Oman forms the main maritime approach to the Strait of Hormuz from the Arabian Sea, making Muscat a key stakeholder in regional shipping security. But Oman\u2019s importance is not only geographic. For decades, Muscat has maintained close ties with both Western powers and Iran, allowing it to play the role of neutral intermediary during periods of tension. Oman hosted backchannel talks during previous US-Iran nuclear negotiations and has frequently acted as a discreet diplomatic bridge between Tehran and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
