Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says;🇮🇷
"Egypt charges between $200,000 and $700,000 per transit through the Suez Canal; for large container ships or oil tankers, this can exceed $1 million."
Turkey charges transit fees for the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul.
Canada charges fees for using the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Panama charges between $100,000 and $450,000 per transit; passage for large New Panamax ships through the Panama Canal can cost up to $500,000.
The US charges fees for using the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Meanwhile, Iran has refused to impose fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz for decades. It has kept transit free! And it has done so despite all the smear campaigns, sanctions and isolation it has faced. Yet you still expect me to believe that Iran is the "guilty party" here? #Iran
