Iran's move to draft a law for imposing transit tolls in the Strait of Hormuz signals a potential escalation in regional tensions and could impact oil shipping costs. Given the Strait's critical role in global oil logistics, this development may lead to increased volatility in WTI prices and affect broader geopolitical risk perceptions related to energy markets.
