The proposal is presently being finalised and is expected to be reviewed by the country\u2019s legal authorities before moving through the legislative process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"continue-read-break\" style=\"visibility: visible; opacity: 1; position: static; content-visibility: visible; margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">A senior member of Iran\u2019s parliamentary civil affairs committee confirmed that the proposal has already been prepared. Officials say the idea is that Iran provides security along this narrow maritime passage, making it reasonable for the country to charge vessels for safe transit.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-sub-heading\" style=\"font-size: 28px; margin-top: 32px; margin-bottom: 16px; line-height: 36px; position: relative; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px;\">Security costs at the core of proposal<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">Officials familiar with the plan say the proposed charges are meant to cover the cost of securing ships passing through the strait. They point out that similar fees are common in other international transit routes, where countries charge for safe passage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The official cited in the reports has not been named, though the comments point to Tehran\u2019s effort to formalise its role in protecting the route while also creating a new source of revenue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intra-article-module\" style=\"position: relative; z-index: 97; width: 768px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;intraArticle&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13}\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"article-sub-heading\" style=\"font-size: 28px; margin-top: 32px; margin-bottom: 16px; line-height: 36px; position: relative; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px;\">Massive revenue potential<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">Shipping analysts tracking maritime movements say that Iran has already collected fees from some vessels, with amounts reportedly reaching up to $2 million per ship in certain cases. Estimates indicate that Tehran could be aiming to generate as much as $75 billion through such measures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The Strait of Hormuz carries nearly 20 percent of the world\u2019s energy supplies, including crude oil and liquefied natural gas. Any change in how ships are allowed to pass through this chokepoint has immediate implications for international markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">Recent disruptions in the strait have created pressure on several South Asian economies, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, all of which depend heavily on energy imports routed through this passage.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-sub-heading\" style=\"font-size: 28px; margin-top: 32px; margin-bottom: 16px; line-height: 36px; position: relative; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px;\">Selective access for friendly nations<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Syed Abbas Araghchi has said that ships from certain countries will continue to pass without restrictions. These include India, China, Pakistan, Iraq and Russia, which Tehran considers friendly nations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">This selective approach suggests that while the proposed toll system may tighten control over the strait, it could also be used as a diplomatic lever, influencing access based on geopolitical relationships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">With the draft law nearing completion, attention is now on how international shipping companies and governments respond. The Strait of Hormuz is a lifeline for energy trade, and any change in its rules is set to ripple far beyond the region.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every ship in Hormuz will have to pay Iran \u2013 here\u2019s what it means for India and the world Story by\u00a0Tarique Anwar \u00a0\u2022\u00a09h\u00a0\u2022\u00a0 2 min read \u00a0 Every ship in Hormuz will have to pay Iran \u2013 Here\u2019s what it means for India and the world \u00a0 Tehran:\u00a0As tensions continue to ripple through one of&hellip; <br \/> <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/2026\/03\/27\/every-ship-in-hormuz-will-have-to-pay-iran-heres-what-it-means-for-india-and-the-world\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1813"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1814,"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1813\/revisions\/1814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venusimportexport.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
