Tehran claims it will collect transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz as part of a draft US deal
The 14-point draft US-Iran memorandum circulating out of Tehran proposes to reopen the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian management with Tehran collecting transit fees. The Trump team publicly insists the corridor will be 'permanently toll-free.' Both phrasings sit in the same document.
