Iran is reportedly collecting a $2 million fee from certain ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz during the ongoing war, according to Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi. He made the claim on Iran’s state television, as reported by the BBC on March 22, 2026. Boroujerdi stated that a 'new governance system' is being implemented in the strait and that 'war has its costs,' describing the move as an expression of Iran’s authority and rights.
The BBC noted that it could not independently verify the lawmaker’s claim. The report did not specify which ships were affected or how the fee was being enforced. The statement comes amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing conflict, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a critical maritime route for global oil transport.
The lack of verification and details leaves uncertainty about the scope and legitimacy of the reported fee collection, as well as its potential impact on international shipping through the strait.
