It is a moral obligation for the Omani government to manage and protect the environment and the traffic coming in and out of Hormuz. For centuries Omanis have lived off the sea and so far the ecological damage that has been done over the last three decades needs to finally be corrected.

[MoneyGCC @MoneyGcc]

It’s a moral obligation for Omanis to take a role in managing the Hormuz traffic. But not for the reasons you may think.

The Sea of Oman is facing a growing disaster: a huge “dead zone”, the size of Florida, where there is almost no oxygen in the water. Fish and sea life are dying or leaving. This hurts fishermen, coastal communities, and the whole marine environment.

Scientists say this dead zone is now massive — as big as a large country — and it keeps getting worse.
Shipping through the narrow Strait of Hormuz is making the problem more dangerous. Every day, hundreds of oil tankers and cargo ships pass through.

These ships release oil, chemicals, dirty water, and waste. They also dump ballast water that brings in harmful bacteria and invasive species. All of this adds pollution that uses up even more oxygen and poisons the sea.

If we do nothing, the dead zone will keep spreading and destroy more sea life.
Oman is in the best position to fix this.

Oman shares control of the Strait of Hormuz and has always been a calm, fair voice in the region. Oman should now take the lead in managing the traffic — not to stop ships, but to make them safer for the environment.

Simple steps Oman can push for:
• Stronger rules on waste and oil discharge
• Better treatment of ballast water
• Slower ship speeds in sensitive areas to reduce accidents and pollution
• Modern monitoring to catch problems early

This will protect Oman’s own waters, fisheries, and beaches while still allowing important global oil trade to continue safely.

The dead zone does not respect borders. If Oman steps up now and calls for smarter, cleaner shipping rules in the Strait, it can help stop this ecological disaster before it gets worse.

Oman must act. Protecting the Sea of Oman is not just good for nature — it is good for Oman’s people, economy, and future. The time to lead is now.

To be fare maybe it’s ok to charge a fee and manage this traffic but not for the reasons you may think. I remember growing up we used to fish by Crown Plaza right of the rocks and always would catch fish. A lot. These days fishing has become more difficult and the algae blooms more often. The increase in population in the surrounding countries and pollution run offs into the gulf bleeding down to the see of Oman has become completely unacceptable. The sea of Oman has a dead zone the size of Florida. Something needs to be done to reduce the pollution and manage this traffic. We need to clean up the Sea of Oman and if it means managing the traffic it may just need to be done to prevent a worsening ecological disaster.

@abaabood I would ignore Siever. He has a clear agenda as the Director of the Jewish Community in Abu Dhabi. Also it’s really not his business.

[MoneyGCC @MoneyGcc]

He shouldn’t be perplexed. If you want to know why Oman has not commented, read the below article. Then try and understand why this dead zone is there. And why an environmental fee was talked about.

Omanis have lived off the see for hundred of years and to have it destroyed is not acceptable. The dead zone is the size of Florida.

This will be next to impossible in the next 3 years in the GCC due to the requirement of the implementation of mandatory e-invoicing systems by 2027.

E-invoicing (electronic invoicing) primarily combats tax evasion through greater transparency, real-time reporting, and digital audit trails, but it indirectly helps curb sanctions evasion (circumvention) by making illicit trade harder to hide through digitization.

Fact below are from Grok.

Traceability
E-invoicing digitizes invoices, often requiring them to be generated through or cleared by government platforms (e.g., Continuous Transaction Controls or CTC models). This creates:
• Real-time or near-real-time visibility for authorities into transaction details (parties involved, goods/services described, values, origins/destinations).
• Structured data (e.g., XML formats) that is harder to manipulate than paper or PDF invoices.
• Immutable audit trails with timestamps, digital signatures, and validation, reducing opportunities for falsification. https://t.co/MgUrjE97rB
Sanctions evasion often relies on trade-based techniques like:
• Mis-invoicing (under/over-valuing goods).
• Mislabeling or false descriptions of goods.
• Using shell/front companies or intermediaries.
• Phantom shipments or rerouting. https://t.co/kIsyr7n6dd
E-invoicing disrupts these by forcing standardized, verifiable records that governments (or international partners) can cross-check against sanctions lists, customs data, shipping manifests, and financial flows.
How It Specifically Helps Against Sanctions Circumvention
• Detects anomalies early: Governments can flag unusual pricing, volumes, parties, or routes in real time. For example, discrepancies between invoice values and market norms (a common red flag for evasion) become visible. https://t.co/kIsyr7n6dd
• Reduces hidden or fraudulent transactions: In CTC systems, invoices may need pre-approval or immediate reporting, limiting “off-book” deals used to supply sanctioned entities (e.g., rerouting restricted tech or goods).
• Improves cross-border data sharing: Many e-invoicing systems integrate with customs or tax databases. This aids international cooperation (e.g., between allies enforcing sanctions on Russia, Iran, etc.) by providing consistent digital evidence for investigations. https://t.co/vDwLKLuzcK
• Deters intermediaries and enablers: Businesses face higher compliance burdens and audit risks, discouraging them from facilitating evasion schemes. Non-compliance can trigger penalties, loss of input tax credits, or broader scrutiny. https://t.co/ivPGRQM942
Evidence from tax contexts (which parallels sanctions enforcement) shows e-invoicing reduces fraud and cross-border irregularities significantly (e.g., Italy saw notable drops in VAT fraud after mandates). https://t.co/vDwLKLuzcK

This is an easy one. Based on economics it is The Sultanate of Oman.

While the prolonged closure is shattering the economies of the other Arab Gulf states (and making the whole region less relevant long-term), Oman is the one country in the region that comes out ahead—not just less damaged, but actively benefiting.

Here’s why:
•Geography is destiny here. Oman’s major oil export terminals and ports (Duqm, Salalah, Sohar, Mina al Fahal) sit directly on the Gulf of Oman / Arabian Sea—outside the Strait entirely. Omani tankers load and sail straight into open ocean. No choke point. No disruption.
•Exports are actually up. Oman has ramped up production and exports (nearing or exceeding 1 million barrels per day in recent periods) because it can keep flowing while everyone else is scrambling. Its terminals have maintained stable crude and LNG exports even as regional flows plunged.
•It’s becoming the bypass and storage hub. Neighbors are turning to Oman for alternatives:
◦Kuwait has deep ties and is actively discussing/expanding oil storage in Oman. The giant Ras Markaz crude oil storage terminal at Duqm (part of the Special Economic Zone) already has significant capacity (initial phases ~25-27 million barrels, with expansion potential to 200 million) and is directly linked by an 80 km pipeline to the Duqm Refinery (OQ8) — a 50/50 joint venture between Oman’s OQ and Kuwait Petroleum International. In the current crisis, Kuwait is looking at increasing storage abroad precisely for scenarios like this blocked strait, positioning Oman as a secure, external hub.6
◦Qatar has long used the Dolphin Energy pipeline infrastructure (which connects Qatari gas to the UAE and onward to Oman) for reliable gas flows. This has supported Qatar’s ability to maintain some LNG-related exports and regional supply stability outside the strait’s vulnerabilities.
•Infrastructure connectivity boom. A major rail link (Hafeet Rail / Oman-UAE rail project) is under active construction, connecting Sohar Port in Oman to the UAE’s national rail network (near Abu Dhabi, via Al Ain and Al Buraimi). This ~238-303 km cross-border line will enable efficient freight and passenger movement (up to 200 km/h), turning Sohar into a key logistics gateway for rerouted trade, goods, and energy flows between the two countries. Construction has advanced significantly, with track-laying, tunneling through the Hajar Mountains, and earthworks well underway — strengthening Oman’s role as a transshipment center.
•Higher oil prices are pure profit. Oman produces and exports without the export bottleneck others face, so the price spike flows straight to margins. Its ports were purpose-built for this: deep-water access, special economic zones, and logistics scale.
Saudi has some Red Sea capacity and the UAE has Fujairah, but both still face pipeline shifts, capacity limits, and exposure. Oman needed zero emergency infrastructure — it was already positioned perfectly, with years of deliberate investment.
This isn’t luck. Oman has played the long game: neutrality, massive ports outside the strait (Duqm as the standout), downstream refining (like the Kuwaiti JV at Duqm), storage expansion, and connectivity projects like the new rail. In this high-stakes chess match, Oman didn’t just avoid checkmate — it’s the one quietly taking pieces while everyone else is bleeding.

@H_alabri05 @Reuters I know it didn’t happen. I was only saying Reuters has independent reporters in Muscat but none of them would do fake news.

For all those reporting Fake News on Oman Minal Al Fahal port. There is your confirmation that it didn’t happen. Anyone that know Oman and knows this oil depot knows that the fisherman are out there all night and into the morning. There would be video. Reporting false flags before they happen is a little ridiculous.

It first appeared on @Reuters wire service. This service has verified journalist imputing stories. Channels like @AJEnglish use the service to pick up breaking news and typically will not verify if it came from Reuters as it is expected to already be verified as it’s a paid service. A lot of fault lies with Reuters more than Jazeera.
