Has Iran charged India a toll for passage of ships from the Strait of Hormuz? Here's what Tehran envoy said

What Happened

Iran's Ambassador to India Mohammad Fathali denied on Monday that Tehran charged tolls on Indian oil and gas tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz. India's Foreign Ministry confirmed no discussions occurred on toll payments between the nations. The statement came after US President Donald Trump accused Iran of charging "world extortion." Both countries emphasized commitment to free navigation through the strategically critical waterway, which transports roughly one-fifth of global oil.
