Iran to impose new service fees in Hormuz, reserves special treatment for 'friendly' nations

Iran's ambassador to China announced new service fees for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, despite US objections. Ambassador Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli stated these fees would cover security, supervision, and environmental concerns, with "friendly" nations receiving special consideration. This comes after Iran lifted its blockade of the vital waterway following a preliminary deal with the US to end the Middle East war, with ongoing negotiations for a permanent settlement.
