I just don't think these kinds of tolls will be enacted permanently with no leeway for developing nations.

Iran needs the money for the war, they've shown to waive the transit fees to countries who ask nicely, and it's giving them the capability to pressure other governments to vocalize their dissatisfaction with the US/isntreal warcrimes.

We have France condemning the US now, if Iran blocked all of the EU's passage through the strait, I think NATO would join in on the bombing campaign.

Everyone thinks materialistically in the sense that the EU states know it would be an expensive bombing campaign that probably wouldn't guarantee safe passage for them after all is said and done. Iran provided them an alternative route, where they pay a toll now, and I'm assuming the tolls will be negotiable once the individual states prove they will not provide assistance to the terroristic bombings of Iran.

Spain isn't even paying the tolls because they have been against the war from the get-go, it's a pretty powerful bargaining chip to have in Iran's arsenal. As long as you're not involved in the illegal bombing campaign, you won't get charged the fee.

If anything, this would at least pay for the damages the bombing campaign has done to Iran's infrastructure / killings of thousands of civilians. The US/isntreal will never pay reparations for the crimes they committed, and the fees will scale with how much material and diplomatic support the terrorist states received from each individual country.
