What Happened
The International Maritime Organization's secretary-general says Iran cannot legally charge tolls for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Arsenio Dominguez stated such charges violate international law. US-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without agreement Sunday. Only 22 ships used the strait since Tuesday's truce, versus 135 daily transits before conflict. Dominguez emphasized ending the war is essential for restoring normal shipping operations.
