Iran's plan to charge vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz is emerging as a major point of contention following a fragile ceasefire with the U.S., with conflicting accounts over whether ships will be allowed to transit freely.
Iranian officials have indicated that vessels will be required to pay fees to cross the strait, framing the move as part of coordinated security measures, ABC News reported. Tehran has argued that it is entitled to regulate transit through the waterway after weeks of conflict.
