Report: Iran Plans to Make Tens of Billions from Reopening Hormuz Strait
Iran is expecting a major economic windfall from the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to a Thursday report in The Wall Street Journal cited by N12. Iranian officials reportedly believe that securing the strait and collecting transit fees could bring in close to $40 billion a year.
The report described the plan as an economic lifeline for Iran after the waterway is reopened. No further details were provided about how the arrangement would work, beyond the expectation that the combination of security and toll collection would generate the revenue.
