Iran will begin imposing transit fees on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz after a 60-day period of free navigation expires, while warning ships against using routes outside Iranian control. Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations said: "Freedom of navigation through the strategic waterway would remain guaranteed without charges during the two-month period, after which transit fees would be introduced." The management of the Strait of Hormuz subjects to the exclusive responsibility of Iran and Oman, rejecting what he described as allegations concerning Tehran's role in the waterway, he said during a UN Security Council session on Thursday.
