I mean, you say that...

International law, several dozen treaties, and several hundred years of maritime trade says that.

In our recent war with Iran, Iran was able to seize the Strait and wasn't forced to give it up - so they're going to impose a toll now. That's an enormous strategic asset to them - it lets them put their foot on the neck of the global energy economy and yields a ton of revenue to finance the rebuilding of all the stuff we blew up.

No one's paying them a dime. Oman already told them where they can shove their demands. I would posit we haven't made an effort to force the strait open yet.
