@Middle_East_Spectator

Reports that an agreement has been reached between Iran and Oman on the Strait of Hormuz are false.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the deal is in its ‘final stages’, and that a joint statement could be expected soon if third parties do not obstruct the deal.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇴🇲 NEW: Under the Strait of Hormuz deal currently being discussed, Iran is seeking transit fees of 5% to 7% of the cargo price of vessels passing through the Strait

Omani officials are pushing for lower fees of around 3%, while Washington wants zero transit fees.

A fully laden VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) carries around $150 million dollars worth of oil. A 5% fee would equal $7.5 million per ship, and when considering the average cargo and volume of ships passing through the Strait each year, it would net Iran roughly $45 billion in tolls annually. – Reuters

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 Statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree:

‘As part of its continued aggression and siege against the dear Yemeni people that has lasted for nearly 12 years, we have observed large Saudi military buildups, in their final stages, aimed at escalating the aggression against the liberated provinces [Houthi-controlled Yemen] and the Yemeni people.

Our armed forces preemptively conducted a large-scale and precise military operation targeting Saudi troop concentrations in the areas of Al-Ruwaik, Al-‘Abr, Al-Thaniyah, and other military camps belonging to the so-called First and Third Emergency Divisions, using a large number of ballistic missiles and drones.

We assure our dear Yemeni people in all governorates that the Armed Forces are fully prepared to confront and deal with any escalation.

We call upon all our people to remain vigilant and confront any Saudi aggression, and to strike Saudi troop concentrations wherever they may be observed. We will continue the ‘siege for siege’ equation until the unjust siege against our country is permanently lifted.’
