According to BlockBeats, on June 30th, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that Iran's top priority is ensuring the implementation of all provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Regarding Article 10 of the MOU, concerning the US commitment to allow Iranian oil exports, the US has issued the necessary permits, and Iran is monitoring the implementation progress. Regarding Article 11, concerning the lifting of frozen Iranian assets, the relevant implementation procedures are also underway. This week, Iran will send a technical delegation to Qatar to discuss the implementation of the MOU, including Article 11. The spokesperson stated that Iran has not yet initiated final agreement negotiations. According to Article 13 of the MOU, the prerequisite for initiating final agreement negotiations is the commencement and continued implementation of Articles 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11. Furthermore, the spokesperson emphasized that Iran will not hold any level of negotiations with the US in the coming days. The US delegation's trip to Qatar is unrelated to the Iranian technical delegation's visit; the Iranian delegation's purpose in going to Qatar is to monitor the implementation of the MOU (including Article 11).

Sources: Oman has proposed charging Iran a passage fee for the Strait of Hormuz, a proposal the United States opposes.
According to a report by The New York Times on June 30, multiple informed officials and diplomatic sources revealed that Oman has submitted a formal proposal to the United States and its Western allies to jointly charge vessels transit fees through the Strait of Hormuz with Iran in order to support waterway safety and operational management. The report states that the proposal partially references the operational models of the Strait of Malacca and the Singapore Strait. Regional diplomatic sources indicated that the fees are intended to be voluntary, but Iran maintains that payments will be mandatory. The United States has received Oman's proposal and expressed concerns about the arrangements, stating it will continue consultations with Oman.

The report points out that the future management arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz remain a key issue in the US-Iran peace negotiations. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that Iran will soon begin negotiations with Oman to discuss matters including the fee mechanism and adjustments to shipping routes.
