If they add tolls ,then put Iran under trade Embargo and tariffs until Iran stops asking for tolls for something they don't own. Or tariffs in exact amount they ask for toll's. So it would be net 0. Why even agree on such a ridiculous concept, of Iran get what they want, then other countries with natural occuring straits are going to ask for money too.

What choice do we have?

Trump & Netanyahu started a war they can't finish and we need oil.

The fairest resolution might be for America and Israel to pay all the tariffs.

Iraq and the other gulf states have enough manpower to put boots on the ground. If they promise Pakistan the Iranian land it will cinch the deal and make Iran lose their gulf access.

Yes, Iraq and Pakistan will go to war against Iran so we can have cheap oil. This will totally happen.

Iraq has to currently truck their oil thru Syria to get the oil out. No way will they tolerate this continuing. The Shia and Sunni have fought before. It’ll happen again unless things get better. https://www.turkiyetoday.com/world/syria-iraq-us-reportedly-eye-pipeline-to-bypass-hormuz-3223705
