Iran has outlined specific demands for a proposed agreement to reopen shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, including the right to charge tolls for vessel passage and guarantees that attacks on the waterway will not resume.
The terms, reported by TASS citing The Wall Street Journal, also call for the lifting of the US naval blockade and an easing of sanctions on Iranian oil exports.
Under the proposal, all merchant ships entering the Persian Gulf would be required to transit through Iranian territorial waters, effectively formalizing Tehran's control over the chokepoint.
The development comes as Iran and Oman are nearing a final agreement to restore commercial flow through the strait, a move that would significantly alter the geopolitical and economic landscape of the region.
The proposed tolling mechanism and territorial water requirements represent a shift from previous negotiations, which focused primarily on de-escalation and safe passage without explicit revenue-sharing or sovereignty concessions.
If implemented, the deal would grant Iran direct leverage over global energy flows, as approximately one-fifth of the world's oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
