Yesterday "everyone" said if #Iran charges a #toll to pass through the #StraitOfHormuz it would be a violation of international shipping rules.

This article says the Strait is not a part of international waters & it belongs to Iran & Oman.

That said, Trump is now proposing a joint deal between the US & Iran to collect tolls. I hope Iran rejects this proposal & the US Congress should reject it as well. All of us know that Trump is pocketing money.

What is Iran’s Strait of Hormuz protocol and will other nations accept it?

Tehran’s plans to tax ships passing through the strait and raise money to rebuild is already seeing pushback.
