Iranian lawmaker says Tehran will run a fee-based Hormuz route for cooperating ships only

Ebrahim Azizi, head of parliament's national security committee, said Iran had prepared a mechanism to manage traffic along a designated Hormuz route open only to commercial ships and parties cooperating with Iran, with "necessary fees" collected and the route closed to operators of the U.S. "Project Freedom". First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said Iran would no longer let "enemy" military equipment through.
