The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, acknowledged little progress but maintained that Iran cannot charge tolls for ship passage. Irans establishment of the Persian Gulf Strait Authority has been met with skepticism, with some suggesting its an overreach of leverage. Pakistan, traditionally the USs intermediary, has been actively involved in talks, and theres even talk of Chinas involvement as a guarantor. The core issue remains the management of the Strait of Hormuz, with five Gulf states advising ships to disregard Irans proposed authority and toll system.
