Tehran formalises Strait of Hormuz transit fees as Ghalibaf frames talks as a post-war settlement

Iran's parliament speaker recasts the US-Iran talks as a post-war settlement and ties Strait of Hormuz transit fees to the new regional order, betting that Washington's verification gap will let the framework harden before it is corroborated.

Desk note: Monexus has framed this story from the Iranian record on the principled ground that the Ghalibaf remarks and the memorandum first appeared in Tasnim and pro-Iranian Telegram channels and have not yet been independently corroborated by Western wire services in the public record. Where the record is thin, the piece analyses what would follow if the Iranian claims turn out to be operative, rather than asserting them as confirmed facts of regional commerce.
