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.

    To be fair other countries, that were not at all allied with the US, shouldn’t have to pay the reparations. I’m sure Iran will determine that though.

      I think it will likely be called something besides a toll, and will be a way to remind other countries that the US lost the war that they started and if they want to blame someone that they should blame the US and seek to recoup any costs in future trades and deals with the US.
