Iran is kind to friendly countries… No transit fee will have to be paid to cross Hormuz, which countries including Russia got this exemption?
Moscow. Iran has exempted many countries, including Russia, from transit fees for passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali gave this information to news agency Sputnik. It is noteworthy that the First Deputy Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Hamid Reza Haji Babai, had said on Thursday that for the first time, Iran has received revenue from the fee for crossing the Strait of Hormuz and this amount has been deposited in the country’s central bank.
When Jalali was asked whether Iran has given any exemption in the tariffs of the Strait of Hormuz, he said, “We have given exemption to some countries at the moment, but I do not know what will happen in the future. However, our Foreign Ministry is currently trying to implement the exemptions which have been planned for friendly countries like Russia.”
It is noteworthy that after the attack by America and Israel, Iran had announced plans to impose tariffs, citing the cost of ensuring the security of the Strait of Hormuz. Now Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz until the naval blockade imposed by America is completely lifted.
US and Israeli aggression against Iran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is a major route for the supply of oil and liquefied natural gas (LPG) from Persian Gulf countries to global markets, and the blockage has also affected oil exports and production in the region.
