"In the previous version, terms were included to guarantee these exercises of Iranian sovereignty and arrangements. But now it is written that "the future of the administration of maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz" will be "determined" by Iran and Oman. The clarification of the use of the term "maritime services" means that the United States will establish the collection of fees for Iran."
"This principle is repeated elsewhere in the text; in such a way that Iran will "only" accept ships for 60 days of free passage. That is, the United States has accepted the principle of receiving fees and has only taken a 60-day discount from Iran.
But after these 60 days, the Islamic Republic of Iran intends to benefit from the financial revenues generated by the traffic of commercial ships in this strait for the economic development of the country by providing safety, navigation, environmental and insurance services."
