Seyyed Mahmoud Nabavian, an Iranian MP and part of a delegation to Islamabad, has stated that Tehran plans to impose fees on merchant ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. He specified that with the US withdrawal and the Lebanon ceasefire, the situation has changed, and some commercial ships will be allowed to pass upon payment of tolls. This announcement adds a new financial dimension to Iran's evolving set of conditions for passage through the strategic waterway. The policy appears to be part of Tehran's effort to assert control and generate revenue from the vital shipping lane.
