Malaysian tankers permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will be exempt from paying any prospective tolls imposed by Iran, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said. Iranian state media reported on Monday that a parliamentary commission had approved plans to impose tolls on vessels transiting the vital waterway that Tehran has effectively closed due to the Middle East war. “No, this is a complete no… The Iranian ambassador (to Malaysia) has mentioned this, no toll being imposed on Malaysian vessels,” Loke told reporters.
