Iran's parliament security chief Ebrahim Azizi announced a traffic management mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz, with tolls to begin soon.
Fees will apply only to commercial vessels and parties cooperating with Iran, while route stays closed to U.S. “Project Freedom” operators.
Iran has hinted at accepting Bitcoin for tolls; the move follows the channel’s closure since late‑February amid U.S.–Israeli hostilities.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who paused Project Freedom, is considering additional military measures and has rejected Iran’s recent peace offer.
