Article excerpt

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains largely frozen despite Donald Trump's assertion that a US-Iran deal has reopened the crucial waterway. Tracking data contradicts the American president's claims of resumed crossings. Complicating matters further, Iran is preparing to impose what it calls "maritime service fees", effectively tolls, on vessels transiting the strategic chokepoint, sparking international pushback over the legality and feasibility of such charges on one of the world's most vital shipping lanes.
