Hormuz Toll Plan Sparks Outrage

Hormuz Toll Plan Sparks Outrage

Tehran's Revolutionary Guard is reportedly attempting to formalize its control over the vital shipping lane as a condition of the current ceasefire.

Under the proposed system, tankers would be required to share cargo manifests via email before being assigned a transit fee.

The White House has labeled any continued closure or restriction of the strait as 'completely unacceptable' and a breach of the truce.

Analysts warn that such a toll could rake in millions for the Iranian regime while permanently destabilizing global trade norms.
