Iran Says Strait of Hormuz Not Fully Open, Will Charge Tolls to Cross
"Iran has told mediators it will continue to limit the number of ships allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz and charge tolls for the remaining period of the cease-fire. Only some commercial ships will be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on the condition of paying tolls, according to conservative lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian."
"Under Iran's proposal, it will be incumbent on tankers passing through the strait to coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps before being allowed through. In addition, Iran plans to block ships sailing from countries it considers hostile."
"Trump wrote a variety of posts on Friday touting victory in the strait, but claiming the U.S. blockade would continue. He stated that Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again and will no longer use it as a weapon against the world."
Iran has informed mediators that it will continue to restrict the number of ships allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz and impose tolls. Only select commercial vessels will be permitted passage under the condition of paying these tolls. Tankers must coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for transit. Additionally, Iran intends to block ships from countries it deems hostile. President Trump claimed victory regarding the strait's status but maintained that the U.S. blockade would persist.
