EU Rejects Hormuz Toll Proposal, Advocates Unhindered Passage

The European Union has unequivocally rejected the notion of imposing tolls on ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that unrestricted access to this critical Gulf waterway is essential. Iran’s suggestion to charge for passage through the Strait was met with strong opposition from the EU, which insists that freedom of navigation must be preserved without any payment or toll. According to European Commission spokesman Anouar El Anouni, international law guarantees this right, essentially ruling out any form of toll or payment.
