Iran’s parliament approved provisions allowing fees for navigation, insurance, security, environmental, and related services provided to authorized vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, framing the charges as consistent with coastal-state rights under international law. This follows earlier reports of ad-hoc toll collections reaching millions of dollars per ship during periods of restricted access and follows a memorandum outlining an initial 60-day fee-free window after recent de-escalation steps. The moves occur against a backdrop of reduced commercial traffic, U.S. naval coordination for some transits, and statements from the IMO and U.S. officials rejecting unilateral tolls as lacking legal basis. Key factors that could influence further implementation include ongoing bilateral talks with Oman and Gulf states, any final settlement terms addressing sovereignty and freedom of navigation, and enforcement capacity amid fluctuating security conditions.
