Iran has agreed not to charge tolls on ships in the Strait of Hormuz as part of a settlement agreement with the United States, Fox News claims citing a source.
Iran will open the strategic strait where tolls will not be charged, the news channel said.

A senior US administration official told the channel that if the deal is signed, the US will lift the blockade simultaneously with Iran opening the strait, after which mine clearance operations will begin.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran and Oman would soon issue a joint statement on shipping management in the Strait of Hormuz. Araghchi emphasized that there was no talk of charging tolls, but that a fee for services was expected.
