The Iranian Foreign Minister addressing the world: Let me get one thing straight: Egypt charges $200,000 to $700,000 per transit through the Suez Canal. Large container ships or tankers can exceed $1 million. Panama charges $100,000 - $450,000 per transit. Large Neopanamax vessels cost up to $500,000 to transit the Panama Canal. Turkey charges fees for the Bosphorus Strait. Canada charges fees for the St. Lawrence Seaway. The United States charges fees for the St. Lawrence Seaway. Iran has refused to collect fees for the Strait of Hormuz for decades. They made it free! Despite the defamation, sanctions, and isolation—and yet you want me to believe that Iran is the "bad guy" here?
