Iran is set to enforce strict regulations on ship movements through the Strait of Hormuz, allowing only 12 ships daily, a drastic reduction from over 100 vessels previously. Under the ceasefire arrangement with the United States, ships will need to coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and pre-arrange toll payments, which could be made in cryptocurrency or Chinese yuan. The proposed toll system may charge supertankers up to $2 million per transit, with fees based on vessel size and cargo. Iran's new tiered system allows ships associated with its trade to pass freely while imposing charges on others based on their country of origin. This strategy marks a significant shift in Tehran's approach, leveraging control over the Strait to enhance its position during and after the conflict. Concerns have been raised among Gulf nations and global energy markets, as the Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for nearly 20% of the world's oil supply. Despite US calls for free navigation, Iran appears determined to maintain its control, potentially reshaping regional power dynamics.
