He indicated that "he does not believe any country would accept paying fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz," emphasizing that "this type of measure is internationally unacceptable."
He added that "attempts to impose fees on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz constitute extortion that no country will accept."
