He heard Iran was charging for passage and wanted in?

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Most likely this; he found another grift for himself to profit from.

So he wants to eventually toll his blockade, because Iran didnt cede to splitting tolls with him, such that each vessel pay two tolls? Holy hell…

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Exactly this. He explicitly threatened to hunt down any ship that paid the toll.
