[Vance: Iran has informed the U.S. that there are no plans for Hormuz Strait tolls for now] BlockBeats News, August 9, U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated in an interview with Fox News that Iran has informed the U.S. it currently has "no" plans to impose tolls on the Hormuz Strait. "Of course, some individuals within the Iranian regime have discussed imposing tolls. However, Iran has told us they have no plans to impose tolls on the Hormuz Strait. Iran has already informed us of this, and the entire Gulf coalition hopes for the same. But, you know, we don't take things at face value; we will verify. What we focus on is not what people say, but what they do."
