MASSIVE RUSSIAN ATTACK, POLAND-UKRAINE TIES FRACTURE – w/ The Duran's Alex Christoforou
"Some leading European powers now accept that commercial vessels transiting Hormuz may ultimately have to pay service fees to Iran and Oman according to Bloomberg. So they've accepted the fact that fees are going to be there."
Leading European nations are privately accepting that ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz will likely pay fees to Iran and Oman, despite the US and Gulf Arab states insisting such tolls are illegal under international maritime law. European governments are urging that fees not discriminate by nationality and advocating for an international maritime coalition to ensure China and Russia also pay. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner reportedly warned Iran that demanding tolls could jeopardize broader US-Iran negotiations.
