On April 10, U.S. President Trump warned Iran not to charge fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, stating that such actions would "violate agreements" and demanded that Iran "immediately cease". Despite a two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, passage through the strait remains significantly restricted. The volume of ship traffic is far below normal levels, with many vessels still stranded in the Persian Gulf, and the recovery of energy transportation is not progressing as expected. Trump's remarks indicate that the U.S. opposes Iran using its control over the strait to gain economic benefits, and he has previously suggested that the U.S. could collect passage fees. Meanwhile, Iran has signaled that it will push for a "new phase" in managing the strait and is reportedly developing a fee mechanism. In the market context, the Strait of Hormuz is a critical passage for about 20% of global oil and LNG transportation, and the dispute over its control is becoming one of the core variables affecting the stability of the ceasefire. Analysts point out that disagreements over passage rights, fee arrangements, and security mechanisms may become focal points in the upcoming direct negotiations between the U.S. and Iran in Pakistan. If these disputes continue to escalate, the ceasefire agreement faces a risk of further collapse.
