Iranian parliament's national security commission head Ebrahim Azizi has said the country has formed a "professional mechanism" to manage passage of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz along a "designated route". He added that Iran will charge a toll for this route, which will be unveiled later, and "only commercial vessels and parties cooperating with Iran will benefit from it".
