The toll is $2 million per vessel, payable in Chinese yuan through Chinese intermediaries. Twenty-six vessels have already transited under this system. Iran’s parliament has approved a formal toll plan projecting $600-800 million per month in revenue. The IRGC’s stated position, as of April 6: “The Strait will never return to its former state.” What was an international waterway is now an Iranian revenue stream denominated in yuan and enforced by the Revolutionary Guard.

The Sound Dues (Øresundstolden) were a strategic toll levied by the Danish Crown on all foreign ships passing through the Øresund strait. Established in 1429 by King Eric of Pomerania to replace declining revenues from herring fisheries, they remained a cornerstone of Denmark's economy for over 400 years. [1, 2, 3] 
 How the System Worked  *

Enforcement: Ships were required to anchor at Helsingør (Elsinore) to pay the toll. Refusal to stop was met with cannon fire from [Kronborg Castle](https://www.havneguide.dk/en/nordsjaell ... ound-tolls) on the Danish side and the Kärnan fortress in Helsingborg (then also part of Denmark).


"NO.THOUGHTS.....NO THOOOOOOUGHTS!"

**** peasants
Do you really love PROVING how big a **** IDIOT you are??

"Iran's stated terms" vs. WHAT THEY GET happens to be 2 totally different things, DICKBREATH PIECE OF ****!!

Fact is, Iran is in NO POSITION TO DEMAN ANY **** THING regardless of what other **** you post that some other nation did ~600 years ago. The REALITY IS, Iran DOES NOT OWN the Straits of Hormuz, but they are GOVERNED as INTERNATIONAL WATERS!.

Who has ownership of the Strait of Hormuz?
The shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz are located primarily in Omani territorial waters, and partially in Iranian territorial waters, but they are governed by international maritime law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).


ANYTHING Denmark did was in waters THEY CONTROLLED AND OWNED!! 

IRAN DOES NOT OWN THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ and only wants control to terrorize shipping once again!!

Now, GO **** YOURSELF, ASSHOLE!!! NO LINKS NEEDED as you can use any **** SEARCH ENGINE OF YOUR CHOICE TO EITHER PROVE OR DISPROVE THE FACTS STATED ABOVE!!

 
 
Liberals are spoiled children, miserable, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic & useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats ~O'Rourke

The Democratic Party seems intransigent on their position of keeping the party ‘woke,’ detached, exclusionary, and totally insane.
