JAKARTA - A senior Iranian Parliament official said that Iran has received the first revenue from the toll it imposed on the Strait of Hormuz.
"The first income received from the Strait of Hormuz toll has been deposited into the Central Bank account," said Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Hamidreza Hajibabaei, to the Tasnim news agency, Thursday, April 23, quoted by France24.
Iran has gripped the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Israel attacked Tehran on February 28.
As Iran almost completely blocked the 20 percent of global exports of oil and liquefied natural gas, the rise in energy supply prices disrupted the world economy.
Along with the agreement on a ceasefire in Lebanon, Iran then opened the Strait of Hormuz.
However, the US still blocks ships entering and leaving Iranian ports ordered by US President Donald Trump since the failure of the first round of negotiations in Islamabad.
As a result of the US policy, tensions have flared up again and Iran has responded by closing the Strait of Hormuz.
