Media: U.S. Proposes Establishing an International Enterprise Group to Manage the Strait of Hormuz
The Telegraph reports, citing diplomatic sources, that U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed establishing an international enterprise group to manage the Strait of Hormuz.
The report states: "The international enterprise group will take on the responsibility of managing the Strait of Hormuz based on a plan proposed by the Office of the U.S. President."
According to sources, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio introduced this idea at the G7 foreign ministers' meeting. The sources emphasized that the plan stipulates ships will pass through the Strait of Hormuz free of charge and will not be subject to any fees.
Previously, Reuters cited two Pakistani sources who reported that Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia might form an enterprise group to manage oil transit volumes through the Strait of Hormuz. One source said that proposals, including Egypt's, had already been sent to the United States, noting that such a fee system would resemble the current toll structure of the Suez Canal.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched multiple strikes against targets inside Iran, including attacks on Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. In response, Iran carried out retaliatory missile strikes targeting Israeli territory and U.S. military installations in the Middle East.
