As US lifts its blockade, Tehran says fees to cover cost of managing waterway will come into effect at end of 60-day negotiation period

Iran has announced plans to introduce a system of maritime fees in the strait of Hormuz in two months, after the 60-day period of negotiation that has been triggered by the signing of the memorandum of understanding.

Tehran, claiming a historic victory over the US, said the strait was under its control and a European plan for a naval mission to escort ships though the strait would not be welcome.

    Remember guys, it’s a fee charged for passage through the strait. It’s NOT a toll!

    A toll refers to a fee paid for a service or privilege (like using a road or bridge).

    See! Definitely NOT a toll!
