Iran Parliament approves transit fees for Hormuz ships
A report details the Iranian Parliament's approval of a law to impose fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, aimed at generating revenue for services such as navigation, environmental protection, refueling, and insurance, while respecting international laws and the rights of the countries bordering the Strait. This measure comes amidst escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, with the U.S. Vice President confirming Washington's success in maintaining oil flow through the Strait at between 7 and 15 million barrels per day. Meanwhile, the number of passing ships dropped to fewer than 20 over the weekend, as Iran threatened to impose fines and detain vessels that violate the regulations.
