Iran will announce Strait of Hormuz mechanism, collect fees, Iranian MP says
Tehran says only cooperating commercial vessels will use the route, while operators linked to the US-led Project Freedom are barred and fees will apply.
- Iran plans to introduce a system to regulate maritime traffic through a designated route in the Strait of Hormuz and charge fees for specialized services.
- Only commercial vessels and parties cooperating with Iran will benefit from this mechanism, which will exclude operators of the U.S. Project Freedom.

- The U.S. enforced a naval blockade and announced Project Freedom to escort vessels through the strait, which Iran opposes and which later was paused.
