Report: Iran Eyes Billions From Reopening the Strait of Hormuz
Iran is planning to make tens of billions of dollars from the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report Thursday in The Wall Street Journal. The Israeli outlet N12 published the report on June 25, 2026, at 18:01.
The article says Iranian officials believe that security arrangements and fee collection in the strait could bring in nearly $40 billion a year. The report presents the plan as an economic lifeline for Iran after the waterway is reopened.
No further details were provided about how the system would work, who would collect the payments, or when the reopening is expected to happen. The report also did not say whether the estimate reflects confirmed policy or internal planning.
