Citing Israel\u2019s latest attacks on Lebanon, Iran declared that it reclosed the strait. The U.S. was quick to contest that. Maritime tracking data showed that dozens of ships passed through on Saturday and Sunday, though far fewer than the daily average before the war.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. might impose its own tolls on strait crossings if a final deal with Iran was not reached during the countries\u2019 60-day negotiating period. Passage was free before the war, but Iran last month established a new governmental authority to collect money from ships and has said it still expects vessels to register with the Persian Gulf Strait Authority.<\/p>\n<p>No one country owns the Strait of Hormuz, which borders both Iran and Oman. Last week\u2019s memorandum of understanding allowed Iran to manage the strait for now while holding discussions with Oman and six other Gulf states \u201cto define the future administration and maritime services\u201d of the waterway. Iran agreed not to charge transiting vessels tolls for 60 days.<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts and maritime associations have repeatedly stressed that a toll regime would upend decades of international trade precedent involving the world\u2019s waters. If the U.S. and Iran cement a final deal, analysts say it could take months for the flow of oil, natural gas, fertilizer and other commodities to return to prewar levels.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a closer look at the status of the Strait of Hormuz:<\/p>\n<div><ul><div><div><li><div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Seyyed Abbas Araghchi and Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf with the Delegation of Iran.\" class=\"wp-image-17131\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/50c227ec687ef85e9dc901ba4059197a-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/50c227ec687ef85e9dc901ba4059197a-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/50c227ec687ef85e9dc901ba4059197a-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/50c227ec687ef85e9dc901ba4059197a-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/50c227ec687ef85e9dc901ba4059197a-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/50c227ec687ef85e9dc901ba4059197a.webp 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, 3rd from right, and Speaker of the Islamic Parliament of Iran, Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf, 2nd from right, with the Delegation of Iran at the Lake Lucerne Summit at the Buergenstock resort in Obbuergen, near Lucerne, Switzerland, Sunday, June 21, 2026.

Iran\u2019s lead negotiator and parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, told Iranian state media Monday that his country would manage the strait in accordance with international maritime law.<\/p>\n<p>The main central route of the Strait of Hormuz is still mined and remains closed. Ships have been using the smaller northern route, which goes through Iranian waters, and the southern route, which goes through Omani waters.

Shipping analysts have expressed surprise at how much control over the strait the inital agreement gave Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost all the power goes into Iran to determine the arrangements going forward in the future. This is what we really need clarity on,\u201d said Philip Belcher, marine director of Intertanko, a trade group for independent tanker owners, said Thursday.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=17127\">Afghan Taliban to hold rare, closed-door talks with EU officials on deportations<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Experts say tolls would violate maritime law<\/h4>\n<p>Collecting tolls in the strait could violate an enduring principle of international maritime trade: freedom of peaceful navigation. The concept was codified by the United Nations\u2019 Convention on the Law of the Sea, which took effect in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>The treaty provides ships the right of unimpeded \u201ctransit passage\u201d through more than 100 straits worldwide, including the Strait of Hormuz. It only applies to natural waterways, so authorities can charge fees for ships to traverse man-made waterways such as the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal.<\/p>\n<p>Oman is among the more than 170 countries that have ratified the U.N. convention, but the U.S. and Iran are not. Maritime associations have argued that all nations remain subject to the treaty\u2019s provisions.<\/p>\n<p>James Kraska, a U.S. Naval War College professor of international maritime law, notes that the U.S. and Iran are both members of the International Maritime Organization, the U.N. agency that oversees safety and security measures in international shipping. Both countries also are parties to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, a treaty that governs standards for building and operating ships.<\/p>\n<p>In straits like Hormuz, fees can only be applied at established ports of entry or for services specifically requested by a ship, such as specialized navigation aid through hazardous areas, according to Kraska, who is also a visiting professor at Harvard Law School..<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Iran wants to apply those to everybody, then it has to adjust the traffic separation scheme rules, and that can only be done through the member states of the International Maritime Organization,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t impose fees for a ship exercising its right of transit passage,\u201d Kraska added. \u201cSo the bottom line is, no \u2014 fees in this context are just not lawful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Countries sometimes have joined forces to share the costs of maintaining of a strait, he noted. For example, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore worked with the International Maritime Organization and later other countries to develop such an agreement for the Strait of Malacca, but it involved negotiated contributions from the states using the passage, not fees on individual ships.<\/p>\n<h4>Disruptions could continue for months ahead<\/h4>\n<p>Conditions in the Strait of Hormuz have escalated or deteriorated quickly over the course of the war. While the outlook for shipping has improved since the U.S. and Iran pledged to extend their ceasefire, \u201cthere is a degree of nervousness around the situation,\u201d said Marcus Baker, the global head of marine, cargo and logistics at insurance brokerage and risk management company Marsh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as the insurance position is concerned, there\u2019s a good deal of support for ship owners that are trying to move out\u201d during this period, but the interim deal between Iran and the U.S. does not include language for keeping the strait toll-free beyond the negotiating window, Baker said.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=17125\">Trump is the frontman for his own party as rival groups vie to shape America\u2019s 250th anniversary<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll see what the next six weeks brings us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ship traffic has picked up in the Strait of Hormuz since Iran and the US signed an interim deal to end a war that&#8217;s constricted global oil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
