THE Iranian regime is reframing its ‘tolls’ on traffic in the Strait of Hormuz as a ‘maritime insurance policy’.
On Saturday, Fars – a media outlet associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) – reported that it has seen a plan by Iran’s Ministry of Economics to force shipping companies to pay ‘verifiable insurance policies’.
Ebrahim Azizi, the chairman of the National Security Committee to Iran’s Parliament, also said that Iran has prepared a ‘professional mechanism’ to permit ‘only commercial vessels and parties co-operating with Iran’.
