Iran's absurd proposal to tax international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is nothing short of maritime extortion that violates every principle of freedom of navigation. Such a reckless threat only confirms that Tehran seeks to weaponize global trade routes, and the international community must respond by ensuring this chokepoint remains open and free for all nations.

@BRICSinfo Why? is the Strait of Hormuz owned by Iran?
In case Iran is forgetting something, the Strait of Hormuz is a natural waterway, not a man-made construction.
This is not the Suez canal
English

@BRICSinfo Love how Iran thinks it can charge tolls on international waters like its a highway toll booth.

@BRICSinfo Here comes the move from Iran. I told you Iran will choke America in this war.
Take it you all filthy Americans 🇮🇷

@BRICSinfo BREAKING:
🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 President Trump says that Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars gas field earlier today without informing the United States or Qatar
Literally Israel doesn’t care what Trump thinks


English

@BRICSinfo If they want to charge, fine… but make sure shipments don’t get delayed. India trade shouldn’t suffer.
English

@BRICSinfo First they closed it. Then they bombed the backup. Now they want a toll booth. Iran is not fighting a war they’re running an extortion operation.
This went from a war to a hostage negotiation with surcharges.

@BRICSinfo Who depends most on oil from Hormuz (2026)
1️⃣ 🇨🇳 China — 37.7%
2️⃣ 🇮🇳 India — 14.7%
3️⃣ 🇰🇷 South Korea — 12.0%
4️⃣ 🇯🇵 Japan — 10.9%

6️⃣ 🇪🇺 Europe — 3.8%
7️⃣ 🇺🇸 United States — 2.5%
8️⃣ 🌍 Other — 4.5%

@BRICSinfo Good luck to them but the strait is actually international waters. You can’t charge for passage for something that you don’t own!
English

@BRICSinfo Tehran MP Somayeh Rafiei dropped this toll plan today. Gulf states are rejecting it. US is considering deploying Marines + eyeing Kharg ops... Escalation bait.
English


@BRICSinfo @grok is this real? what is the ammount?
English

@BRICSinfo If Hormuz gets monetized, it’s effectively a tax on global energy.
Higher transport cost → higher oil → inflation pressure.
This isn’t just geopolitics anymore.
It’s macro risk.
English

@BRICSinfo Sounds great! Trump charge tariffs tax on his own people. At least Iran can show him who really pays tariffs.
English

@BRICSinfo 🚨🇮🇳🛢️🚢 A bold Geopolitical poker move that could turn one of the world's busiest choke points into the most expensive toll booth on Earth.

English

@BRICSinfo I was expecting exactly this from Iran on Strait of Hormuz tolls, and it came true. They need funds badly to run their war, especially after the recent US-Iran conflict.
English

@BRICSinfo Once this plan is truly implemented, the impact of directly imposing tariffs on 20% of global oil trade will be enormous, and oil prices will rise again when that day arrives
