A senior US official says the MOUs reached yesterday with Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz “toll-free” over the next 60 days.
However, the official briefing reporters appears to leave open the possibility that tolls by Iran will return after that 60-day period.
“There will be a regional dialogue around what will happen [afterward], but there are no tolls or charges during the time of this MOU,” a second US official says, remaining ambiguous as to what will unfold afterward.
