I guess we could all apply the same logic when Iran wants something that has to fly over or pass by a body or water in our countries. Not the sharpest minds are they these Iranians.
I despise Trump but these fuckers are really pushing it.

There is just a few straits on fully internal waters. Even Hormuz is shared (Iran, Oman). I guess, their goods (from China?) don't go through them.
But agree - fees or no fees SHOULD be applied on all straits. At some discretion.

You may feel that they're not the sharpest, but compared to Trump they're god level.

These fees are illegal. The world should not accept paying any fee.

Why? Any specific legal rule for your point of view?
UNCLOS wikipedia "Some nations are notable in having refused to recognise the convention."
The US is not a party in UNCLOS

Yes. According to the UN rules, if one nation control water passage way (such as Panama canal, or Suez canal), then they can charge fee. But if more than one nation share the passage way such as the Hormuz which is shared by both Iran, and Oman, then they cannot charge fee.
If Iran is allowed to do this, then many other countries will do the same as Indonesia, Malaysia, India etc. These fees will be passed on to us the consumers, and raise the cost of all products.
This must be stopped now.

not all countries signed and ratified this convention, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...the_Sea#Debate
So this is NOT an universal agreed by all rule, unfortunately

Neither Iran nor the USA ratified this treaty, but regardless, ships should be permitted to use the Omani side of the passage. Iran refuses this and demand fee from any ship crossing the Straight.
They say they want to collect $40B/year, but I am very sure this is just the beginning. The fee will increase quietly every year after that.
As I said, this practice must to be stopped now before it spread to other countries, and poor countries will be really hooked on it.

IRGC's life expectancy would get very short if they try to impose fees.
