The Iranian regime is charging ship operators $2 million to allow them to go through the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway through which about 20% of the world's energy goes through, citing the cost of the war with the U.S. and Israel, according to a new report from Bloomberg.
The outlet said some ships have paid the charges, but details about the mechanism and currency used are not clear. Payments have been made discreetly, and only a small number of vessels have made it through.
