[Iran Plans to Charge Service Fees for Hormuz Strait Navigation According to International Standards] BlockBeats News, July 5 – On July 4, during the 14th World Peace Forum in Beijing, Iran's Ambassador to China, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, stated in a media interview that Iran plans to charge service fees for navigation through the Hormuz Strait in accordance with international standards. Fazli mentioned that prior to the outbreak of the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, navigation through the Hormuz Strait had always been smooth and unobstructed. Currently, Iran has not announced any plans to impose (transit) fees or tariffs but intends to charge service fees based on international standards to cover routine expenses such as ensuring navigation safety, navigation services, and environmental protection. This approach is consistent with practices in other waterways around the world. Regarding the current situation of the Hormuz Strait, Fazli noted that navigation in the strait is gradually returning to normal, and the passage jointly managed by Iran and Oman is in the process of restoring order.
