Will oil still flow , toll-free, thru the Straight of Hormuz?

from Kan English · host כאן | Kan

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that Washington would not accept Iranian tolls or fees on the Strait of Hormuz, as disputes over the vital waterway exposed early strains in negotiations to end the Middle East war. On Tuesday, Tehran and Oman said in a joint statement that they would study the administration of the trade route and the costs to be charged for services, while insisting on their sovereignty over the strait. Rubio, opening a regional tour in the United Arab Emirates, said Washington would oppose any such move. “It’s an international waterway. No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway,” he said, adding that he believed “all the countries in this region would agree”. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with energy expert Brenda Shaffer. (Photo: AP)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
