U.S. Vice President JD Vance said in a Fox News interview on Aug. 9 that Iran has told the United States it does not currently plan to impose transit fees on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Vance said some people within Iran’s system do talk about charging such fees, but added that Tehran had informed Washington that there is no plan in place at this stage. He also said the broader Gulf alliance wants the same outcome. Vance stressed that the U.S. would not take those statements at face value and would instead verify them through actions rather than rhetoric. His remarks framed the issue as one the administration is watching closely, with the focus on whether Iran’s conduct matches what it has communicated to the U.S.
BlockBeats reported on Aug. 9 that U.S. Vice President JD Vance said in an interview with Fox News that Iran has told the United States it does not currently plan to impose transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz.
Vance said that “some people” within Iran’s system do talk about charging transit fees. At the same time, he said Iran had told the U.S. that it has no such plan, adding that “the entire Gulf alliance” wants that outcome as well.
He also said Washington would not simply accept those statements without checking them. “We don’t trust easily. We verify. What we care about is not what people say, but what they do,” Vance said.
