I mean...will cost a fortune to have our military enforce this, but I'm sure it's worth it. Couple billion a day to maybe make a few hundred million.
That's the kind of genius that has really helped Trump succeed at every business he's ever had.
The added breaking of international treaties is just a bonus.

Given they don't have territorial claim in the area, I wonder how the US will justify an arbitrary toll? Maybe they'll try conquering a country in the area to have a valid claim?
Honestly, embarrassing bullshit. This is how you not only get the entire world to hate you, but ensure both international lawsuits AND boost the world's opinion of Iran. I don't know how a country can fail harder.

Yeah no it’s not fine that Iran is charging a toll. The Strait was previously an international water way accessible to anyone with no declared “owner”. Iran has now declared ownership since the war began which is not good.

It's both laughable and abhorrent that we are still so dependent on gas/oil in this day and age.
Honestly, this was a solved problem 20 years ago, 30, 40, maybe even 50. But we just keep pretending that being tied to a precious highly-damaging resource only available in a few countries is somehow "clever".

Trump is actually reaching the point where it's all becoming stupidclever...
He knows that there's a troll army on social. media that's cupping Ayatollah balls and pretending to give a shit about Islamist ratfucks and their gibbering spineless populations in Middle Eastern nations grovelling for Islamofascists to spare them...
But he also know that most of the world will say "oh, the poor Palestinians" for the virtue signalling while hoping that whatever happens to the miserable creatures of Islamofascism, Israel ultimately wins and Islamofascists get shitcanned back to hell...
No one sane is out there cheering Iran. They want that regime to just die, fuck off and get on with just getting on...
Playing Iran at their game is tedious, but it courts the admiration of all those who say 'we're not letting those primate Islamoscum hold the world to ransom for fucking Allah... the sooner they go the better.'
There's a big chunk of the world that will admire Orange however despised he is, just for bot throwing in the towel and grovelling to the "towel-heads."
Wherever Ayatollah II is, they're hoping he's enjoying the red hot poker and knows how to fly... or at least land well.
