Hillarious to me that he thought there was a country that needed its ships to transit the straight enough to be able to pay the toll, but without the firepower(or more commonly, allies, but also, firepower - Iran doesn't even need the help, but ...), to tell the US to fuck-off with that non-sense.

Seriously Orange-man, try tolling our biggest, best allies and/or trading partners, I'm begging you. I want to see the spectacle they make of your idiocy as a response.

"toll"... Oh, so piracy. You know, demanding money from people in territory that isn't your own... Because you have more guns.

That's just being a pirate.

Classical pirates had more legal justification for what they were doing than this, since they operated in a grey area. This is just flagrantly illegal
