Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Fees for shipping services in the Strait of Hormuz must be collected.

TechFlow News, June 14: Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that measures taken by Iran to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz serve both the country’s national security interests and contribute to safeguarding global energy transportation and international shipping order.

Baghaei noted that Iran provides relevant security guarantees and shipping services in the Strait of Hormuz and therefore deserves appropriate compensation.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical energy transport corridors, linking the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and handling a substantial portion of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Recently, discussions concerning the strait’s management authority, transit arrangements, and regional security have intensified.
