US-Iran Deal Excludes Transit Fees for Strait of Hormuz Passage
A US official told Reuters that the ongoing deal negotiations between Washington and Tehran will not include any transit fees or taxes for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The official also revealed that Iran had presented what were described as "unreasonable" demands regarding these fees, which were rejected by both the US and Oman. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic chokepoint for global oil shipments, making the issue of transit fees particularly sensitive in the talks. The discussions continue as both sides work to finalize the terms of their agreement.
