Tehran Confirms Charges for Ships Crossing Strait of Hormuz
Ghalibaf Defends Iran’s Right to Charge Transit Fees
Speaking in an interview broadcast on state television, Ghalibaf stated that conditions in the strategically important waterway would not return to the status that existed before the recent conflict in the region.
He emphasized that Iran considers the Strait of Hormuz to be under its sovereign authority and maintained that the country has the right to collect fees for services provided to ships passing through the route.
“The Strait of Hormuz will not return to pre-war conditions,” Ghalibaf said, adding that Iran intends to implement a system of service charges once the temporary exemption period expires.

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical maritime corridors, serving as a key route for global energy supplies and international trade. Any policy changes affecting transit through the waterway are closely watched by energy markets, shipping companies, and governments worldwide.
Ghalibaf’s remarks come amid ongoing diplomatic developments following the recent understanding between Tehran and Washington aimed at reducing regional tensions and establishing a framework for future cooperation.
Analysts are monitoring how the proposed transit fee mechanism will be implemented and what impact it could have on global shipping costs, energy markets, and regional trade flows in the coming months.
