Iran began charging vessels for passage through the Strait of Hormuz

Despite Iran's de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, some vessels still pass through it. According to data from Bloomberg, Iran has started charging up to $2 million per trip from some of them. However, such a fee does not have an officially established form: it is applied selectively, and the payment methods and currency are not disclosed.

Iranian authorities are also considering the possibility of introducing an official fee for using the strait and are even discussing the inclusion of this mechanism in future international agreements after the conflict ends. However, other Persian Gulf countries oppose this, as it makes them even more dependent on Iran.

Meanwhile, Iranian tankers continue to export their oil.

The Strait of Hormuz is of key importance for the global economy: about 20% of oil and liquefied gas supplies pass through it, as well as fertilizers, metals, and other goods.

    На колькі памятаю, TSS знаходзіцца ў межах аманскай часткі пратокі, і далей, па выхаде з TSS, як у бок Персіцкай затокі, так і да Індыйскага акіяну, флот можа праходзіць застаючыся па-за марскімі межамі Ірана. Дык якога хрэна Іран распухірыўся ? 100% гэта маскоўская йдэйка, мэта якой захаваць напружанасьць на ўваходзе ў ПЗ нават пасьля падпісаньня мірнай, як мяркуецца, дамовы з USA.

    Жвір , ідэйка, можа і крамлёўская, але рэалізацыя вашынгтонская. Да нападу на Іран ніхто трафік у Персідскай затоцы не чапаў.
