Vance says US expects Strait of Hormuz to be open ‘toll free’ long term
The US announced that ships will move toll-free through the Strait of Hormuz under an Iran peace deal. A memorandum of understanding was electronically signed by Trump, US Vice President JD Vance, and Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The MoU is about a page and a half. A 60-day period will follow to hammer out a full-scale peace deal. The US wants nuclear discussions upfront, but the Strait of Hormuz is an immediate priority due to oil price spikes. Vance said the strait would reopen toll-free long term. Trump said it would be 'completely open' from Friday. Iran's foreign ministry said the deal allows Iran to charge maritime service fees, not tolls.
