BREAKING: Iran's announced 7% toll on all commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, would generate Iran $385 million daily net or more than $100 billion yearly net at pre-war traffic.The majority of crude oil volume moves on a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), and at 2 million barrels max capacity the 7% toll would generate Iran ~$11 million for a single oil tanker.A toll has almost no cost of goods, so ~97% is pure profit. Comparing it to net income, a 7% Hormuz toll would make the Strait about as profitable as Alphabet ($132B in 2025), Nvidia ($120B FY2026), Apple + Microsoft (both just crossed $100B), and Saudi Aramco ($105B), while representing ~15-20x Suez Canal's all-time peak revenue from its toll.For Iran itself, this would exceed a third of Iran's GDP, without pumping a barrel.

I dunno, historically Imperialism has won the day for centuries. There doesn't seem to be much chance of it losing now.
>>540273787Power Plant Day and Bridge Day it is, then
>>540273787>Iran's announcedthey did? where?
>>540273787So they steal money from countries who never attacked them?
>>540273787>would generate Iran $385 million daily net or more than $100 billion yearly netLiterally what Lombardy is forced to pay in free gibs to the Siculo-neapolitans. Every year, until the heath death of the universe or, way sooner, the extinction of the Lombard nation.
So some child fucking dirt donkeys think they're going to impose tolls in international waters against the whole of the western aligned world without any pushback? That's delulu my friend. The combined economies of western aligned nations who would like to maintain freedom of navigation is approximately 120+ trillion dollars by nominal GDP. The IRGC will be absolutely buck broken in a matter of time.
>>540273787>would generate Iran $385 million dailyThat's peanuts, it should generate a proverbial fuck tonne more than that. It's estimated that a fully loaded oil tanker has a cargo worth approximately $350 million dollars alone. And 20% of the worlds oil traverses the Hormuz straight. ka-ching
>>540273787I just dont understand why didnt they do that beforehand?
>>540275656Because its suicidal. The west won't allow it. Iran should start paving the tarmac for their new joint coalition military bases.
>>540273787cool, I hope they get nuked
>>540275161>So they steal money from countries who never attacked them?No, they charge a transit fee the same as every other shipping thoroughfare on the planet. This isn't a new or radical notion. The Panama and Suez canals charge a certain percentage per container ship based on the overall value of the cargo (known from the shipping manifest) as well.Govt's make money through taxes and fees. This falls into the fees category.
>>540275851>transit fee>taxes and feesif i call theft a different word it's not theft>>540275161countries that are part of american empireit's as if you asked why are they stealing money from Ohio when it's America that attacked them?
TOLLS ARENT SO FUNNY ANYMORE EH?
Hope they take bitcoin
>>540275161>jew complaining about someone stealing money
>>540275778>Because its suicidal. So they predicted they'd be bombed to death sooner and they wanted more time to make more bombs and try to develop atomic bomb?
>>540273787If we say sowwy and pwomise not to do it again, I'm sure they will give us a 50% discount
>>540275656Because now, thanks to Trump, they have the moral high-ground.
>>540275161Kike
>>540275851You're a moron. Comparing taxation of man made canals that were dug out at enormous cost is not the same as piracy in a naturally occurring waterway. Iran can dig their own canal and charge a toll and I'd fully support that. If the west allows this, then Gibraltar is next, Malacca, Bearing, etc. You see how this kind of dog shit would spread? We need to shut it down at all costs. Fuck em.
>>540275656The reason Iran didn't do it before is because doing so would have necessitated an response from the US and Europe. Basically, they knew they'd get bomb to fuck if they did it, so they avoided it.However, once Trump started offering their leaders, what else is there to lose? They closed it, and, holy shit... there is actually nothing the US can do. Literally nothing. We cannot force them to open it. It WILL have a toll. They will never make it free ever again. We gave them a weapon stronger than a nuke, by the way. Controlling the strait allows them to, at a whim, totally fuck over a large portion of the world.
>>540277768>there is actually nothing the US can do. Literally nothing.What do you mean? trump made a mess on the public street so his voters should go and clean it uptrump voters should get drafted and sent to iran
>>540273787And then iran will cry to UN when usa bombs them
>>540277891What mess? Your mom should join irannies dying in tehran
>>540277532So what happened was we all had middle east fatigue after Iraq. We made a deal that said ok fine you can enrich if we can oversee that. They fucked around, we found out, they laid low and used all the money/time to build all these missiles and drones and further enrichment infrastructure so they could later use the strait as leverage. Another middle east ground incursion is political suicide for any US administration. The Iranians know it, the IRGC knows it. If they manage to test a nuke its over they will control the entire Middle East after that. The west either needs to form a coalition of hundreds of thousands for a ground invasion or bomb infrastructure into oblivion. It would take beyond Gaza level destruction and starvation tactics to do what needs to be done without ground forces. Cant do that cause war crimes blah blah. Its just all fucked cause the IRGC is fucking retarded. No we're not out of munitions, no we're not losing. The west isn't ready to do what needs to be done but its only a matter of time. Eventually everyone will get sick of this stupid game and say fuck it invade or bomb them into oblivion. Once inflation is truly out of control the west will be turn bloodthirsty yet again and public support will be largely universal, similar to 911 era.
>>540277683Send in. The ground troops.
NO REFUNDS
Lol TOTAL IRANIAN PERSIAN BIG COCKED VICTORY! PAY UP AMERITRANNIE SLUTS

>>540275533We're in what day of this 3 day regimen change?
>>540278100They should. That's what militaries are for. Everyone with a dog in the fight should unite and go door to door and round up the IRGC. We did it in Kuwait, we did it in Iraq. We could do it in Iran. We've been killing Islamic extremists for decades. Nothing new. War is politically unpopular but its either something we solve now or it never gets solved once they test a nuke like North Korea. Americans are increasingly weak and spoiled, they've never suffered like their ancestors. They dont understand war, freedom, or sacrifice. Leaving the IRGC unchecked would be a massive mistake for the entire western world.
>>540275851Ah yes the “this open passage is actually not open because I will fucking kill you” strategy The same as Panamanians right? It’s the fucking asiatic Bolshevik mongols at it again. They are the new jews.
>>540275656The tech is new. They weren't sure they could until they got the houthi to test it out a couple years ago, and even when it worked in the Bab-el-Mandeb, hormuz is more important and has no alternative route.
>>540278298I dunno man are we counting all the deal making days or just the bombing days? I can't keep track anymore. The IRGC wants to kick the can to mid terms, and Trump wants to pretend he fixed everything before mid terms. In reality we need to regroup, form a coalition, and take decisive military action. I think the left middle and right know there is only one way to stop the IRGC.
>>540275851Retard.
>>540278088You are such an obvious zionist shill LOLIran has been "Two weeks from a nuke" since the 90s lil gup, and it never came true. Bibi is a liar who is using this war as well as genocide in gaza to distract from his corruption case. No one will support a ground invasion. The EU already told America to go fuck itself. We started the war by murdering like 150 schoolgirls that has instantly turned us into the bad guys, along with us allying with a state that hates all non-jews.
>>540278447>this open passage is actually not open because I will fucking kill yousounds pretty based

>>540273787this is why energy independence is massively shilled against here and in the real worldrenewables and nuclear is the only solution
>>540273787They should do this. Money will motivate to find a way around and we can get rid of / ignore these uppity Arabs destined for poverty.
>>540275533>child fuckingAmerica and Israel do that. Iran doesn't.>Dirt DonkeysIran is Whiter than America>international watersUN member states acknowledge territorial waters out to a certain range. Hormoz is well within Iran's range and they're the regional power and decisively won a war over the matter.>without any pushback?Iran making this move is the pushback. It didn't happen in a vacuum. Israel and America launched a joint surprise attack in which they murdered schoolchildren and religious leaders and boasted that they would annihilate the Persian civilization. This attack was repelled and America's bases in the region were destroyed and Israel withdrew from the war when it could no longer defend Tel Aviv.>120+ trillion dollars by nominal GDPAll of which goes to corruption. They'll pay before they consider giving white men manufacturing jobs>The IRGC will be absolutely buck broken in a matter of time.The hypothetical conflict you're imagining between Iran and the US already took place. IRGC decisively won.
>>540275778>The west won't allow it.The West demonstrated that they can't do anything about it.>Iran should start paving the tarmac for their new joint coalition military bases.Iran just destroyed America's bases across the region. Did you step out of a time machine from 2024?

>>540277937>And then iran will cry to UN when usa bombs themAmerica has been bombing Iran for a while. Seriously what the fuck is going on in this thread? Is Eglin's new script to pretend that the US didn't just spend a few months killing Iranian's in a surprise war?
>>540278088>We made a deal that said ok fine you can enrich if we can oversee that. They fucked aroundIran did not fuck around. America tore up the JCPOA despite Iran following it. Iran has a Fatwah against weaponized nuclear, and all American intelligence agencies agreed they were not building a nuke.
>>540275851you're a muzzrat shill, and a total fucking retardsee >>540277683 for startersbut you know what. I actually 100% support it. Im completely in favour of USA losing this war and Iran winding up charging tolls on hormuzzi.several things will happen. Iran will become a regional power. this will cause several unintended consequences(1) Europe will be FORCED out of its complacency, they will have to re-industrialize and develop standing armies worthy of the name.(2) Oil will skyrocket in price, forcing countries all over the world to develop alternatives (not alternative energy either, but alternative oil, because there is no substitute) ... this will permanently weaken the middle east and gulf states. they will become irrelevant.(3) All the retarded socialist experiments in the west will end quickly as prices and inflation are jacked(4) The US will be forced to reign in spending to try to same themselves, and focus on our hemisphere instead of solving the worlds troubles. MAGA will become standard for both parties.(5) Chinas economy will get raped.(6) india will starve.(7) the gulf states will finally be forced to confront Iran head on, with thier own fucking money, and thier own fuckin armies. No more Ukrainian hookers and cocaine. No more EASY money for the arabs.Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!Within five years, there will be a massive regional war, and it wont be the USA, it will be the gulf states. And Oman ... it will be the first to get the shit kicked out of it.
>>540278088>If they manage to test a nuke its overNorth Korea offered to give Iran a nuke and they declined. Iran doesn't need or want a nuke.>The west either needs to form a coalition of hundreds of thousands for a ground invasionAnything less than a million men will fail. Not 1 million military, 1 million trigger pullers.>to do what needs to be doneAmerica could walk away and apologize and pay reparations and every nation's toll, and it would be a negligible cost compared to what you're proposing.>Cant do that cause war crimes blah blah. America is not averse to war crimes. America can't do this because America is unable to, despite Trump and Heggseth and Moloch wanting to.
>>540282491>CHYNA has only ever won a civil warThey won in Korea.
>>540278088>we're not out of munitionsSource: the people who lie about everything constantly >bomb them into oblivionAmerica already tried this. The result was America losing all its assets in the region and failing to pen any Iranian bunkers.>Public support for foreign war will increase when Americans can't afford groceriesYou're retarded
>>540275161>So they steal money from countries who never attacked them?>pic>flagi see what you did therebut i still hate jews
>picrelIve never seen muscular nigger from africa tho
America humiliated and humbled yet again lol. They couldn't even topple the Iranian state like they did in Iraq/Afghanistan (they still lost, but at least they impressed with shock and awe).Latest Iran war has been a wake up call to the world that the USA is well past it's prime and should no longer be taken seriously.
>>540275161Yes so do (((banks))) and petrodollar amerimutts, dont even try to lie about dear lord rothschild banking and your shitholeThis is niggerworld
>>540278402>We did it in Kuwait, we did it in IraqAmerica just withdrew under fire from both. America lost prior wars in those countries in my lifetime.>We could do it in Iran.Iran is incomparably larger and stronger>Nothing new.The Iraq wars didn't start with America losing all its bases in the region to missile fire.> its either something we solve now There was no problem that needed solving.>once they test a nukeIran has a fatwah against nukes, and if they change their mind about it then American aggression will be the reason.>Americans are spoiledThe two current generations have it far worse than their parents and will grow up as hated minorities in the nation. The IRGC is nowhere near the top of their list of problems.
>>540278593>form a coalitionAlready failed>take decisive military actionAlready failed>there is only one way to stop the IRGC.The Iranian people want to enforce their security concerns, and Americans don't have a problem with that.

>>540282641>Oil will skyrocket in priceA resumption of volume with a toll will lower prices compared to the coming supply shortages.>socialist experiments in the west will end quickly as prices and inflation are jackedThe nations with improving PPP are the socialist ones.

He wants home prices up.>Reign in spending, focus hemisphereIsrael would never force America to do that.>China rapedHow? America losing global hegemony returns China to their historical global dominance.>Gulf States will form competent militaries against IranLmao no. They'll pay the toll.
>>540273787>NATO flag>Pro Russia
>>540275656Because the US showed its ass and demonstrated how quickly we run out of armaments and how incapable we are of defending our bases and out vassals. Iran assumed we'd be a lot stronger.
