Washington's Position on the Strait of Hormuz
Reports indicate that Washington emphasizes its stance against the imposition of any transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. officials have stated that no changes in the control arrangement of the region should provide Iran with an opportunity for greater influence in this strait.
