🇮🇷🇴🇲 Iran is building a permanent toll system for Hormuz and deciding who pays and who doesn't... Tehran reportedly plans to jointly administer the Strait with Oman, charging $2 million per vessel. Oman gets a seat at the table as a reward for its mediation efforts and geographic position along the waterway. But the real story is in the exceptions. China sails through free. Pakistan gets 20 tankers. Iraq was declared a "brotherly country." And days ago, an Egyptian vessel carrying food reportedly passed without paying a cent, a political gesture thanking Cairo for its role in mediation. Iran is rebuilding the strait as a loyalty program. Friends transit freely. Mediators get rewarded. Enemies pay or don't pass at all. The parliament already codified this into law. The IRGC has the enforcement capability. And Oman's involvement gives it a veneer of international legitimacy. The U.S. went to war partly to prevent Iran from ever having this kind of leverage over global energy. Six weeks later, Iran has more control over Hormuz than at any point in its history, and it's institutionalizing that control while the bombs are still falling. Source: NYT Medial: @A_M_R_M1
