US official: No fees for Hormuz crossing
An American official confirmed that crossing the Strait of Hormuz will be free of any fees or permits, in response to reports suggesting Iran's attempt to impose charges of up to 7% of the commercial cargos' value on ships. He clarified that temporary transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz would be free and would not require approvals or permits, emphasizing that the strait is an international waterway not controlled by any single entity. These statements come amidst escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, as U.S. President Donald Trump described negotiations with Iran as "the last chance," warning of the possibility of a military strike if they fail. In contrast, Tehran denied having any direct negotiations with Washington and confirmed that their current discussions focus on transit arrangements with Oman, amid increasing fears of a possible military escalation around the strait.
