Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, has arrived in the United Arab Emirates and reiterated that the United States does not recognize any country's right to impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz is acknowledged as an international waterway, making the imposition of tolls a contentious issue.
In response to these developments, Iran and Oman have announced the formation of a joint committee to address their sovereign rights over their territorial waters.
