U.S. President Donald Trump says Iran has informed the United States that it is not seeking any tolls for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Trump made the statement after U.S. and Iranian discussions following a first round of negotiations in Switzerland on Monday. The accounts from both sides about key issues in a recently agreed framework have been inconsistent, according to the reports. Topics include financial incentives for Iran, arrangements for control of the Strait of Hormuz, and Israel’s parallel war in Lebanon. The statement comes in the context of the framework deal signed last week, which is intended to end the war. While Trump’s comments emphasize that ships would face no tolls or charges related to passage through the strait, the reports also note that the two countries have provided conflicting descriptions regarding other terms under discussion. The U.S. and Iran continue to negotiate amid uncertainty over how the framework’s provisions will be implemented.
