I expect iran to levy a toll and people who aren’t brainless to support it within the context of raising funds for the war but not support it within the context of “iran gets a toll on all shipments through the strait forever, which totally isn’t a rent seeking arrangement”
First of all, it’s likely to only be a toll on “unfriendly” countries. Secondly, it is a form of reparations for the damage inflicted by sanctions and the war. As long as sanctions continue, tolls are justified.
