Iran is establishing a new system for crossing the Strait of Hormuz, dividing countries based on their relationship with Iran.
Al Jazeera English has revealed details of a new system prepared by Iran to manage the Strait of Hormuz and allow ships to enter the strait according to the official relationship with Iran.
According to the network, the new system will divide the world’s countries into three categories: “hostile, neutral, and friendly.” Neutral countries will be subject to large financial fees, while hostile countries will be barred from entering. Friendly countries, however, will be allowed to enter the strait for free.
The network indicated that the new system placed the Gulf states, including Iraq, in the category of hostile and neutral countries, expecting that most of the Gulf states would be prevented from using the strait, while imposing large “tolls” on other neutral countries that depend on the strait to export their oil.
It is noted that Iraq is suffering significant economic consequences as a result of the strait’s closure and its inability to export oil via the usual maritime transport routes.
