Iran has officially recorded its first toll revenues from vessels passing through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, as tensions with the United States and Israel persist. Deputy Parliament Speaker Hamidreza Haji Babaei announced that the collected tolls have been deposited into the central bank, marking a significant escalation in Iran's response to what it perceives as a naval blockade imposed by the US. Iranian officials have indicated that this toll collection is part of broader wartime measures amid the ongoing standoff. However, specifics regarding the amount collected and the enforcement mechanism remain undisclosed. Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that reopening the strait would be impossible while US naval pressures continue. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil supplies, remains closed as long as these restrictions are in place. The situation is further complicated by reports of Iran's Revolutionary Guards seizing vessels and the US Central Command turning back ships in the area, highlighting the high maritime tensions despite ongoing diplomatic negotiations.
