According to the new plan, passage through the strait will be prohibited for vessels with ties to the USA or Israel, and the fees charged will be in Iranian rials.
The USA has already expressed its intentions to prevent the introduction of these fees. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in an interview with ABC: "We will never allow this." He emphasized that this is of greater significance for the rest of the world than for the United States, as they receive only a small portion of their energy resources through the Hormuz Strait.
Before the onset of the conflict between the USA, Israel, and Iran, about 20% of the world's oil supplies passed through this strait. However, with the start of hostilities, Iran effectively closed the passage for vessels, causing significant instability in the oil market.
On March 22, President Donald Trump demanded that Iran open the passage, threatening to bomb Iranian power plants. Two days later, on March 24, Iran notified international organizations that "non-hostile" vessels from countries such as Pakistan, China, Russia, India, and Iraq could pass through the strait with prior coordination with Tehran. In response, Trump decided to postpone attacks on the power plants, as he recorded the passage of ten vessels through the strait.
