According to Fars News, an Iranian news agency affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, a parliamentary committee in Iran has approved plans to impose a toll tax on traffic passing through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a Fars News report, a member of the National Security Commission confirmed the approval of the plan, which would also prevent American and Israeli ships from passing through the strait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been further stated that under these plans, those other countries that have participated in the sanctions imposed against Iran will also face sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to news agency AFP, the new toll system was announced on Iranian state television, which said Iran would implement it in cooperation with Oman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 20 percent of the world’s crude oil shipments usually go through this important seaway that lies between Iran and Oman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, since the start of the war, traffic through the waterway has dropped by about 95 percent, according to the shipping information company Kipler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
