Iran has officially confirmed its first toll payment collected from ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, marking a major development in its controversial maritime fee system. According to Iranian officials, vessels passing through the strategic waterway are being charged up to $2 million per ship. The move comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and ongoing disputes involving the United States and former President Donald Trump’s hardline stance on Iran, including blockade threats and sanctions pressure. While Tehran frames the toll system as a matter of sovereignty and maritime control, critics warn it could further escalate instability in one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes.
