The Islamic Republic intends to charge fees to ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, offering exemptions to “friendly nations,” officials announced this weekend, despite US President Donald Trump claiming late last month that Iran had promised him there would be no “CHARGES OF ANY KIND BEING SOUGHT OR RECEIVED BY IRAN ON SHIPS TRAVELING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.”

Iran’s ambassador to China, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, announced Tehran’s plans during the World Peace Forum in Beijing on Saturday, claiming that the regime was working in “collaboration and cooperation” with Muscat on “new arrangements” for Hormuz.ack a few months or years,” she concluded.
