We've always said that we're not asking to collect transit fees. However, in exchange for the services we will provide, including navigation services, environmental protection, potentially the provision of ships and other services provided by Iran and Oman the necessary costs will be covered and the corresponding tariffs collected,” said Baghaei, according to Tasnim, adding that this issue is now “quite clear “, CNN writes.
The United States and Iran said on Sunday they have reached an agreement, expected to be signed Friday in Switzerland, to end the hostilities. The full text has not yet been published, but President Donald Trump said the US will remove its blockade of Iranian ports and that the Hormuz Strait will reopen without tariffs.
The Iranian official also said that visits to “Some regional and neighbouring countries are on schedule before the start of the meeting in Geneva”, adding that details will be announced soon.
He also said that a final decision concerning the “signing sub-x1> of the Memorandum of Understanding will be made “sot or tomorrow”.
