Iran plans to charge ships for safe passage through Strait of Hormuz, report says

Officials in Tehran have drafted legislation to create a toll system where ships pay for safe passage through the waterway, Iranian media reported.

Iran is preparing legislation that would impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian state-aligned media.

Traffic in the waterway, a critical shipping route, has effectively come to a standstill since the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran began almost four weeks ago. Subsequent supply constraints, along with attacks on energy facilities and regional production shutdowns, have pushed oil prices into triple digits.


Revolutionary Guard-aligned news agency Fars said overnight that a lawmaker had told its reporter the plans to impose tolls were also a bid to officialize Iranian supervision over the Strait of Hormuz.

A draft had been prepared, but was not yet complete, Fars reported. It said lawmakers were planning to complete a draft bill by next week, so it would be ready to put to parliament.

The lawmaker said Iran would collect tolls in exchange for secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a Google translation.

Just use the U.S military to set up a blockade. No revenue at all for Iran.

It will upset the world for a little while but it will end the Iranian government.

How is the US giving them a permanent income stream? I read nothing in that article that states we're on board with Iran extorting money for protection. And how would Iran prevent unprotected ships trying to go through the strait? If anything, they're only making more of their military assets visible to the US forces, and would subsequently be destroyed.

So basically, there just going to be straight up pirates?

The strait sits between two countries — Iran to the north and Oman to the south. Both have coastlines along the strait. But under international maritime law, no country can “own” a waterway used for global trade.

Well, there goes that idea, out the window.

Not at all surprised they are desperate for money, and resources at this point, because of the highly successful operation we have lead there.

Let them try, nobody will pay....nor should they.

International law is all but meaningless in this world.

Maybe it used to matter, but not anymore. Definitely not to this administration.

International law has been meaningless to the Iranians, ever since they signed the NPT....it met nothing to them, and certainly not to dem admins, that didn't think the legally binding NPT should be enforced either.

So international law is meaningless to Israel, Iran and the US.

So no one in this war gives a shit about international law, then it's pretty stupid to bring it up.

Israel never signed the NPT, and you have yet to show us where the US violated it, as you've claimed.

That matters less than nothing. There is a major war occurring without color of international or US Constitutional law.
