Iran's Strait of Hormuz fee legality
Iran is studying the possibility of imposing fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, raising legal questions about its legitimacy under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which grants freedom of navigation through natural waterways like straits. Although international law does not permit charging fees for natural straits, Iran has unofficially enforced such measures amid threats from the U.S. administration to impose sanctions on its efforts. Iran currently has a fee-collection body in place, with a pledge not to impose charges for 60 days, while Washington hints at implementing specific fees for its services in the region.
