No Country Is Allowed To Charge Fees On Rubio Draws Red Line On Iran Tolls In Strait Of Hormuz
Economic Times
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday (June 23) that Iran would not be able to charge tolls in the Strait of Hormuz as part of any final agreement with the U.S.
, saying that such an arrangement would be contrary to international law. Rubio arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, before travelling to Kuwait and Bahrain, where he will meet officials from the Gulf Cooperation Council, a grouping of monarchies that also includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman. Rubio will be pitching Washington's Iran peace deal to Gulf Arab leaders who fear excessive concessions will strengthen Tehran and reshape the region's security balance and oil flows.
