Iran is tightening its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, interpreting the new ceasefire agreement as a conditional opening that allows it to impose substantial transit fees and enforce its own security criteria. Despite a call for an internationally monitored transit framework co-chaired by Oman and the EU, Tehran's approach effectively transforms the strait into a 'tax zone' rather than ensuring genuine free passage. This maneuver, coupled with ongoing U.S. military operations, raises the stakes for international shipping and regional stability amidst escalating domestic protests and geopolitical tensions.
