Iran has granted “friendly” countries, including Russia, a fee exemption to transit the Strait of Hormuz, reports the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti.
“We have provided exceptions for some countries. I don’t know what will happen in the future,” Iranian Ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali, told the news outlet.
“At the moment, our Foreign Ministry is trying to use the exceptions provided for friendly countries, for example Russia,” Jalali said.
Tehran has floated plans to levy tariffs on shipping in the strait amid the US-Israel war on Iran.
