Iranian Ambassador to China: Plans to charge service fees for navigation in the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with internationally accepted standards

July 5, Iranian Ambassador to China Abdulreza Rahmani Fazri said in an interview with the media during his attendance at the 14th World Peace Forum in Beijing on the 4th that Iran plans to follow internationally accepted standards. Service fees will be charged for navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Fazri said that before the outbreak of the US-Israel-Iraq War, the Strait of Hormuz had been unimpeded for navigation. At present, Iran has not said that it will collect fees or tariffs, but plans to collect service fees in accordance with internationally accepted standards to cover routine expenses such as ensuring navigation safety, navigation and environmental protection, which is consistent with the practices of other waterways around the world. Regarding the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz, Fazri said that navigation in the Strait is gradually returning to normal, and the channel jointly managed by Iran and Oman is re-establishing order.
