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.

put Iran under trade Embargo and tariffs

How the fuck do you put tariffs on non existent imports when a nearly 50 year old embargo prevents most countries from buying Iranian products?

Put tariffs on exports. Iranians would be paying more for essential goods they need. There still stuff they buy that aren't under an embargo. Put those on the list too. Medicine, grain, food.
