   Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi flew to Muscat on July 11 and met Omani FM Badr al-Busaidi. The two issued a joint statement committing to safe passage and a joint working group to determine 'the future administration of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, the services that will be provided in this regard, and the costs associated with them, in accordance with international standards' (Oman FM). Araghchi told reporters Iran's Hormuz decisions 'would be made jointly with Oman' (Middle East Eye). The US had demanded Iran issue a unilateral public declaration that the strait is open and toll-free. Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said in his first statement that 'the closure of the Strait of Hormuz must remain a priority.' The IRGC's Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), itself an OFAC-sanctioned entity, requires mandatory insurance for all Hormuz transits, with fees expected once the 60-day MoU grace period expires. CENTCOM issued a 'fact check' on July 9: 'Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz,' citing the facilitation of more than 800 commercial vessels and 380 million barrels of crude through the strait since May (RFE/RL). The GCC collectively condemned Iran's July 7-9 attacks on the Saudi tanker Wadiyan and Qatari tanker Al Rekayyat, invoked UNSC Resolution 2817, and declared any attack on one member 'a direct attack on all GCC states' (GCC). India's Hormuz oil supplies fell from 2.8 million barrels per day in February to 247,000 by April; China drew down its 1.4 billion-barrel strategic reserves to absorb the shock. War-risk insurance rates rose to 2-6% of vessel value, up from near-zero before the conflict, and demand for policies collapsed as visible shipping through the strait approached a halt after July 9 strikes (Lloyd's List, Insurance Journal). ↗
