Iran intends to spend funds on reconstruction
Iran and Oman will be able to charge fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This permission is part of a two-week ceasefire that was reached with the U.S. through intermediaries.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the Associated Press.

“The two-week ceasefire plan includes allowing Iran and Oman to charge ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz,” a regional source told the publication.
According to him, Iran will use the collected funds for reconstruction. However, it is unclear what Oman will spend its money on.
It should be noted that the Strait of Hormuz is located in the territorial waters of Oman and Iran. Previously, it was considered an international waterway and had never required a fee for passage before the military operation by the U.S. and Israel.
What happened
Recall that last night was the final deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz at the request of U.S. President Donald Trump. Otherwise, he threatened to bomb bridges and power plants across the country.
As a result, the parties actively negotiated through intermediaries before the deadline, and ultimately Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire in exchange for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has already publicly confirmed that they will open the strait.
However, there is a nuance regarding the ceasefire. The U.S. appears to have already ceased attacks. However, Israel and Iran continue to strike at each other. Several media outlets note that Washington and Tehran have not announced a starting point for when the ceasefire is supposed to take effect.
