Foreign media: Iran seeks to charge 5% to 7% of the value of goods for ships transiting the strait.

1 hours ago

According to Reuters, citing a senior Iranian source and two regional officials, a proposed Iran-Oman deal would grant Iran control over vessels entering the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most significant concessions Iran has secured to date. Iran later stated that all vessels entering and exiting the Gulf would pass through Iranian waters. Regional sources noted that details remain to be finalized regarding how "control" would be defined. Iranian sources said the draft deal currently on the table envisions Iran controlling vessels transiting the strait into the Gulf, with one key point of contention being what role Iran would play for vessels heading in the opposite direction. Iran's deputy foreign minister later said: "The route is designed such that commercial vessels' inbound and outbound paths will pass through Iranian territorial waters." Senior Iranian officials revealed that Iran is seeking to charge vessels using the strait a fee equivalent to 5% to 7% of the cargo value, while Oman is discussing a lower rate of around 3%, and Washington wants no fees at all. Making the fee nominally voluntary could be a way to break the impasse, but shipping companies may have to pay to transit amid the threat of potential Iranian attacks.

Proxy investment scams also exist in US equities? SpaceX investors claim their SPV shares have vanished, missing out on massive IPO gains.

According to The Wall Street Journal, multiple investors claim they indirectly held SpaceX shares via special purpose vehicles (SPVs) of investment firm Late Stage Management. However, after SpaceX went public in June 2026 at a $1.77 trillion valuation, investors were unable to access their accounts and were informed by the company that their shares had been sold in 2024, missing out on massive gains. The investors have filed complaints with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and hired legal counsel, with both sides holding major disputes over shareholding status. Founded in 2015, Late Stage marketed itself to individual investors as a channel to access unlisted shares of high-profile tech companies, claiming it would only generate revenue after the company’s shares went public. In March this year, three Late Stage executives admitted to fraud charges against investors. Federal prosecutors stated that Raymond John Pirrello Jr., Joseph Passalaqua, and Robert Cassino concealed markups and fees from investors. The three are awaiting sentencing, facing up to 20 to 45 years in prison. Lawyers noted that unlisted share issues are not part of their case. Lawyers for other executives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. SPVs linked to other potential blockbuster IPOs have also drawn attention. Anthropic, an AI firm expected to launch its IPO this fall, recently upset investors holding SPVs related to its stock. In May, the AI company updated a notice on its website stating it would not recognize sales of Anthropic shares without board approval, naming several online platforms that resold interests directly or indirectly via SPVs. At least two brokerages are still sending emails and text messages to potential investors, offering opportunities to acquire Anthropic stock through SPVs.
