US Rejects Fees, Permits, and Iranian Control Over Hormuz Routes

🚢 HORMUZ — Washington just rejected every condition Tehran named yesterday. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Iran's WSJ-reported demands included fees, permits, and inbound control — the US official rejected all three in one sentence. This locks Washington's public floor below Tehran's public ceiling before Monday ends. Any deal now requires Iran to retreat from stated positions without losing face domestically. Oman's corridor narrows further.
