Iran demands control over Strait of Hormuz ahead of US-Iran talks in Qatar.
Iran has signaled it will insist on international recognition of its control over the Strait of Hormuz and the right to levy fees on ships, even if it requires force. The stance comes ahead of indirect US-Iran talks in Doha and follows four days of back-and-forth strikes between the two countries. Iran agreed to a 60-day interim deal in mid-June allowing ships to pass without charge, but Tehran interprets the agreement as affirming its control over the waterway.
