Gordon Robison: Middle East correspondent on whether Iran will continue to toll ships passing through Strait of Hormuz
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
It remains an open question if Iran will continue to toll ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with moves to reopen the critical shipping lane.
Iran and the US have accepted Pakistan's proposal to pause fighting two weeks.
Israel says it supports suspending strikes on Iran - but not on Lebanon.
Middle East correspondent Gordon Robison says Iran's made huge profits tolling the few ships it's let through the Strait since the war began.
"The ship owners don't care much about paying the tolls, as long as they can get out. What we can all hope is that the American administration decides to look the other way, at least for now."
