Iran intends to impose fees on ships and submarine internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz, impacting global tech companies such as Google. The head of Iran's parliamentary National Security Committee stated that a professional mechanism has been established to manage passage, with the plan to be announced soon. Only commercial vessels cooperating with Iran will be allowed to continue using the waterway. An Iranian military spokesperson claimed that fees will be charged for internet cables, and relevant tech companies must comply with Iranian laws and pay the fees. In the future, the repair and maintenance of submarine cables may be limited to Iranian companies only. Iran hopes to enhance its voice in the global digital communications sector through these measures.
