Iran has made a new demand as part of efforts to ease tensions with the United States and Israel, seeking recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. The strategic route, through which about a fifth of global oil supplies pass, is considered a key point in international energy trade.
Tehran is reportedly considering imposing tariffs on ships passing through the strait, using it as an instrument of pressure in international relations. Experts estimate that such a scheme could provide Iran with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue per month.
However, this idea has met with opposition from international actors, who warn that it may conflict with the rules of international maritime law.
At the same time, tensions in the region have also been reflected in global energy markets, causing fluctuations and difficulties in maritime transport. These developments have raised concerns about the potential impact on global economic stability.
