DOHA (Sputnik) - Qatar is coordinating the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz together with Oman, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said on Tuesday.
"We are coordinating with Oman on issues related to the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring the safe passage of ships," Al-Ansari said at a briefing.
He said Qatar's priority was the security of transit through the Strait of Hormuz and clearing its waters of mines.
"Freedom of navigation is a right guaranteed to all Gulf states; closure of the strait or any threats to the safety of navigation in it are unacceptable," the spokesman added.
Iran said in mid-June it was working in coordination with Oman to lay out a new legal framework for shipping in the strait. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said it would not be business as usual after the US-Israeli attack. Iran argues it will charge fees for services to ensure safe passage, not tolls. After agreeing the memorandum with the US, Iran committed on June 18 to not charge ships any money for 60 days.
