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] Become a hegemon. Then, you can put your navy wherever you want. That's how it has worked since time immemorial. You think Xerxes the Great gave a damn about the Greeks' maritime rights when he burned Athens to the ground? Iran doesn't own the Persian Gulf, we will not be paying any tribute to them, and you can call people hypocrites on GLP all day long and none of that is going to change. And no, I would not consider Iranian navy in the Gulf of Mexico an act of war unless, of course, they entered our territorial waters without permission or fired on somebody. They even said they were going to send ships over here earlier this year to Cuba, and the response was a great big yawn. They never made it, incidentally. [/quote] always love it when people call the use an empire, and point out they have military bases all over the world not for th eBS line to protect freedom, but to protect the US empire and you tards all say "the US is not an empire!!" then when rubber hits the round, you all proudly assert not only is the US is an empire but assert the US empire's right to steal resources from sovereign nations through military force and bombs and death. nothing say peace freedom and linerty for all like "we are a hegemony bitch and we'll fucking drop bombs and missiles on your citizens and take whatever the fuck we want from you" ah freedom and liberty and democracy for all! [/quote] Glad your starting to recognize American superiority. All of the resources of this planet are ours to do as we see fit. You can either trade in exchange for our fiat. Or fucking die. Our military can and will fucking kill you. Once again to explain this to you. All of the planets resources are American property to be used when we see fit. And there is nothing you can do about that as we can enforce this through warfare or economic fuckery. [/quote] so I guess the whole peace and freedom and democracy line is bullshit then got it the whole notion that the US keeps the peace and protects freedom and emocracy for all people is obvious transparent total 100% grade A bullshit nothing says protecting freedom and democracy like "Our military can and will fucking kill you." americans, so peaceful and freedom loving! fireworks, flags, hot dogs, freedom and democracy!!! "Our military can and will fucking kill you." you sound like the police state [/quote] Peace and freedom for American citizens. The rest of the worlds peoples are invalids that I could not give to fucking fucks about. Give your us your shit or die. The only reason we allow you to live. For now. Is that your useful for extracting the mineral resources out of the ground and shipping it to us for consumption. [/quote] uhhh that's not the official US narrative there charlie... the US prides itslef on protectign freedom and demcoracy for people all over the globe why do you think the US wants to help the people of venezuela? they claim the venezuela's freedoms are being infringed upon. why did we need to get rid of saddam? freedom for Iraq remember? and on and on the US claims it has military bases all over the globe to help protect GLOBAL freedom and democracy for ALL. soooooooooo NOPE [/quote] Thats just what we tell you. It makes it easier to print green pieces of paper to trade for your shit. We really dont fucking care about your peace and safety. All those American military bases are for protecting America and securing GLOBAL resources for our consumption. And you think we are going to let Iran dictate to us. They are fucking dead. [/quote] yeah no shit sherlock that is the point I have been making not real quick on sarcasm and writing mechanisms are ya the US military cna fuck people up... you, on the other hand... can't do shit... and I bet even that lezbo soccer player could twist you up til you were face down and ass up crying uncle!!! mr.big bad US military gonna kill you man!!! sooooooooooo scary and tough online! [/quote] No sarcasm this time. Its a reality that Iran is going to learn. I never claimed to be tough and scary. The only thing I can do is support my Military and continue to pay my taxes. Love them! They keep me fed, secure and happy. I could care less about the rest of the planet. [/quote] no shit we know you are a piece of shit who supports totalitarian control over sovereign people through use of iron fist and stealing everything for your own use. Mao and Stalin and Hitler would love you! [/quote] Bunch of 13th century barbarians shaking their sticks at me calling themselves sovereign. LOL what a joke. [/quote] Dude, get real. You're white. He's Persian. He's racially way above your level. He's literally Aryan. Youre Aryan wannabe. [/quote] If America wants Malaysia's opinion. We will type it out and give it to your leaders. :laugh: Until then. Just go back to the little kids table with the other asian sovereignties that we ignore. [/quote] You could at least learn a thing or two from us on how to keep lbgt, tranny, homo, gender fluid agenda in check [/quote] I have to admit its not 100% perfect. We have some cultural contagion to deal with. Mostly from NWO conquered euro trash. [/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.

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.
