8. What are you calling "a lie"?

First, it doesn't mean something is "a lie" if it's not mentioned in a plan.

Second, the typical interpretation of the wording Iran has used is that Iran reckons it gets to charge Strait users:

What does the ceasefire plan mean for the strait of Hormuz?
The Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said safe passage through the strait would be allowed under Iranian military management. It wasn’t immediately clear whether that meant Iran would completely loosen its hold on the waterway.

The plan allows Iran and Oman to charge a fee of up to $2m a ship on vessels transiting through the strait, according to reports. Iran would then use the money it raises for reconstruction.

If peace talks fail, Tehran may again seek to close the strait.
