If I have to pay a toll to drive down a perfectly safe highway then ships should have to pay tolls to cross a dangerous body of water. [/quote] The difference is, those toll roads were built by private companies and you are driving on their private property. Iran does not own the Persian Gulf. [/quote] nor does the US and the US should not be there with military presence tankers sure, but no need for warships there can you imagine if iran had war ships in the gulf of mexico, you would think it an act of war [/quote] People fall to realize, it's called the Persian gulf, owned by the persains for thousands of years [/quote] LOL...it is an international body of water. Anybody can go where they please in an international body of water. If they want to have a warship tagging alone for their protection because of pirates or stupid Iranians...then so be it. [/quote] Again, Islamic countries follow ISLAMIC LAW, it is above any other law according to ISLAMIC LAW. Therefore, there is no maritime, international, UN, or Western LAW that will tell ISLAM what to do. Get it? [/quote]

Iran is planning to charge foreign ships a toll in exchange for "protection" across the Strait of Hormuz, a key trade route and a flashpoint in the escalating dispute between the United States and the Islamic Republic.
A member of the Iranian Parliament's presidium said foreign commercial entities should compensate Iran as "the true provider of security in the region and international waters,". Amirhossein Qazizadeh Hashemi claimed ships enter Iranian waters on their way through the strait and should therefore pay a toll.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow, 21-mile waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and greater Arabian Sea. About 18.5 million barrels of oil travel through the strait each day, accounting for 30% of the world's sea-traded oil. The waterway is considered crucial to global trade, but with a shipping lane only three miles long, it is also extremely vulnerable.
