Iran Says It Has the Right to Charge "Management Fees" for Submarine Cables in the Strait of Hormuz

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced on social media on the 18th that after Iran "implemented management" of the Strait of Hormuz, it "can declare that all fiber - optic cables passing through this waterway must obtain permission, be supervised, and pay sovereign fees."
