Service fee collection for Hormuz is part of negotiations, Iran says

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran’s “pressure” over the Strait of Hormuz will remain in place indefinitely and that Iranian armed forces will intervene whenever necessary.

Araghchi added that under international law, imposing transit tolls on the Strait of Hormuz is not possible, but said that Iran is taking “service fees” and that the matter is part of ongoing negotiations, IRGC affiliated Tasnim reported.
