Iran plans to charge ships for safe passage through Strait of Hormuz, report says

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Iran is about to loose that franchise.
The USA will collect a toll after we finish with Iran and secure the Strait as a way of paying for costs of this cleansing expedition.
Pro-rated of course, discount to those whop supported us, stiff toll on those who opposed, especially PRChina.

Lose.

Italians?

Iran’s armed forces have ensured safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for Russia, Pakistan, India, and other friendly countries, Abbas Arakchi said.

“These are countries that have coordinated their passage with us, and this will continue in the future, especially after the war,” — Iranian Foreign Ministry.

When you pass through the Strait of Hormuz...

Friendly to Iran and Islam, but not others.
Iran doesn't OWN the Strait.
Strait of Hormuz is/should be International Waters.
US Navy would only be there temporary to safety for all who transit.

When the USA and Israel have completed their expedition, a new government of Iran will be in charge and statements from the current regime will be null and void.

BTW, two of your "sailors" flags show their countries don't border the Persian Gulf. Also, since they have armed and been "allies" to Iran, they aren't objective guardians.

The United States shares land borders with only two countries, yet it has some 800+ military bases around the world.

You are the internationalists. You condemn anything that is nationalist. And if isolationist it is the most repulsive human element in history. Our wealth is used for anything the globalists want. They control our economics and finances. So, they control our politicians.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The strait sits between two countries — Iran to the north and Oman to the south. Both have coastlines along the strait. But under international maritime law, no country can “own” a waterway used for global trade.

Well, there goes that idea, out the window.

No, shipping companies will definitely pay it.

Unless you plan to call the nonexistent Strait police.

More like about 750, a majority within the USA, and some as small as a few people and radar or communications relay equipment.
Comes from spending the last century plus having to fight and win two world wars started by other nations and then because of treaty and deterrence needs of Cold War along with international terrorism/Islamic Jihad.
...
These bases range from massive cities-within-cities - Camp Humphreys in South Korea covers 3,454 acres and has its own hospital, schools, golf course, and 30,000+ residents - to tiny radar installations in remote locations with five people and a satellite dish. The Pentagon officially categorizes them as "Large" (30 worldwide), "Medium," and "Small/Lily Pad" - but the taxonomy is somewhat misleading since the Pentagon defines "small" as having a replacement value of under $1 billion.

Hamas, Hezballah, and Houthis fire rickets and missiles by the thousands at Israel for decades.

Iran plans to charge ships for safe passage through Strait of Hormuz, report says​

Well well, evidently the US just gave Iran a permanent income stream. This war is working out swimmingly.​

Iran plans to charge ships for safe passage through Strait of Hormuz, report says

Officials in Tehran have drafted legislation to create a toll system where ships pay for safe passage through the waterway, Iranian media reported.

www.cnbc.com

Iran is preparing legislation that would impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian state-aligned media.

Traffic in the waterway, a critical shipping route, has effectively come to a standstill since the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran began almost four weeks ago. Subsequent supply constraints, along with attacks on energy facilities and regional production shutdowns, have pushed oil prices into triple digits.


Revolutionary Guard-aligned news agency Fars said overnight that a lawmaker had told its reporter the plans to impose tolls were also a bid to officialize Iranian supervision over the Strait of Hormuz.

A draft had been prepared, but was not yet complete, Fars reported. It said lawmakers were planning to complete a draft bill by next week, so it would be ready to put to parliament.

The lawmaker said Iran would collect tolls in exchange for secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a Google translation.

You have to be one of the biggest morons I've ever seen pretending to have a brain.

They passed legislation !!!! Wow.

Wonder what that will look like when they get a jdam suppository?

Don't pay it. Dare Iran to fire the first shot and see what happens

Zincwarrior has finally confirmed what we've known for a while.

That his EEG reads nothing.

Our liberals like to bloviate about “international law.”

Well, the strait of Hormuz is considered an international waterway under maritime law.

The United Nations Convention of the Law of the Seas says precisely that. See,
UNCLOS Part III (Articles 37–44)..

Silly question. Obviously, the commission of the acts of war aren’t governed by any international law (other than limitations such as the Geneva Accords).

First, neither USA nor Iran signed the Convention. Second, you should have to think about international sea law before your pirats captured tanker under Russian flag.

Of course no. One can legally start military actions for two reasons - self-defense and decision of UN SC

Good.

Europeans love the Iranian Mullahs so much, let them pay the tribute.

They'll start buying oil from Russia again, exposing their hypocricy.
