Suez, Panama canals charge for transit — why can't Hormuz?
DW examines why Egypt (Suez Canal) and Panama (Panama Canal) can charge transit fees, but Iran’s demand for up to $2M to transit the Strait of Hormuz is condemned. It explains legal frameworks (UNCLOS, treaties) and compares other waterways (Russia’s NSR, Canada’s NW Passage, Turkey’s Straits) while noting US-China opposition and US plans to protect Hormuz post-war.
