Iran has advanced plans to impose maritime service fees or transit charges on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, asserting sovereign management rights over the strategic waterway that handles roughly one-fifth of global oil shipments. Following a June 2026 US-Iran memorandum of understanding that included a 60-day toll-free window tied to demining and reopening, Iranian officials including chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf have stated the strait will not revert to pre-conflict conditions. Tehran has coordinated with Oman on administration and services, distinguishing proposed fees for navigation, safety, and environmental measures from prohibited tolls under international law. As of mid-September 2026, Iranian parliamentary statements confirm the Persian Gulf Strait Authority framework is operational, with collections reported at $1.5–2 million per vessel in cash, cryptocurrency, or barter under Supreme National Security Council oversight. US officials have consistently rejected such charges on an international waterway, creating ongoing diplomatic friction that shapes trader assessments of implementation timelines and enforcement.
