That's not how navigation of international waterways works. Nobody is paying the Iranians a dime.

Before this cease fire was announced, last night, Trump the Conqueror wanted to charge a toll, without Iran receiving a cut.

Trump suggests US could charge toll for Strait of Hormuz passage

President Trump suggested Monday that the U.S. could impose its own tolls on vessels trying to transit through the Strait of Hormuz — a strategy employed by Iran as it continues to control the key energy shipping choke point.

“What about us charging tolls?” Trump responded.

“I’d rather do that than let them have them,” he added. “Why shouldn’t we? We’re the winner.”

“We won, OK? They are militarily defeated. The only thing they have is the psychology of ‘oh, we’re going to drop a couple of mines in the water,’” Trump continued. “We have a concept where we’ll charge tolls.”
