The deputy speaker of Iran\u2019s parliament, Hamidreza Haji
\nBabaei, says the first revenues collected from tolls imposed on ships using the
\nStrait of Hormuz have been deposited into the Central Bank account. <\/p>\n

According to a report from the Tasnim News Agency, he has
\nnot given further details about how the revenue was collected, or who paid it, and the BBC
\ncannot independently verify his claim.<\/p>\n

Before the current ceasefire Tehran had said it had limited
\nthe passage to what it called \u201cfriendly\u201d countries, and there were talks of
\ncollecting tolls from vessels passing through the strait. <\/p>\n

But there had been no clarification during that time about
\nhow much – or if – Iran was charging a fee for passage. <\/p>\n

For example, back in late March, Iran\u2019s embassy in India
\ndenied claims that Tehran was charging vessels $2m to pass through.<\/p>\n

Today another senior Iranian MP, Alireza Salimi, said to Tasnim:
\n\u201cI have heard from reliable sources that Iran has collected fees from ships
\npassing through the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe amount and fees collected from each of these ships vary
\ndepending on the type and amount of cargo and the level of risk they carry, and
\nIran determines how and to what extent these fees are collected. We determine
\nthe rules,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has previously threatened ships that pay tolls to Iran to use the Strait of Hormuz – we’ll have more on that in our next post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018First revenue\u2019 from Hormuz toll deposited into Central Bank – Iranian deputy speakerpublished at 10:49 BST 10:49 BSTBreaking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-406604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
