Iran to Charge Fees and Coordinate Safe Passage Through Strait of Hormuz

As part of the ceasefire framework, Iran will charge transit fees and coordinate safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, effectively asserting sovereignty over the waterway while allowing trade to resume. The arrangement represents a significant concession by the international community to Iranian control over one of the world's most critical shipping lanes. Critics argue the deal legitimizes Iran's blockade tactics, while supporters say it pragmatically restores oil flow.
