Iran MP: Hormuz transit fees to be imposed

An Iranian official has confirmed that commercial ships will still be required to pay tolls to cross the Strait of Hormuz. The official reiterated that the opening of the strait is tied to the ceasefire in Lebanon, as previously promised by Tehran. This statement reinforces Iran's position that the waterway's access remains conditional on external political agreements. The toll policy represents a significant shift in how Iran intends to exert control over the critical global oil chokepoint.
