Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

This post makes no sense.

Egypt and Panama charge because their waterways are territorial waters. Iran an Oman can do the same.

Once again, the Strait of Hormuz is not international waters.
I trump says it’s fine so let’s not worry what international agreements say Iran is going to get paid billions of dollars through reparations just through that so says TRUMP
 
Trump has a strange obsession with oil revenues. He mentioned it several times emphasizing his reluctance to hit Kharg for that reason. China and Russia don't have the technical ability to help Iran recover her oil and gas fields particularly after decades of neglect. Pars gas field that Iran shares with Qatar is a good example. Qatar. Qatar out produces Iran by a factor of 10.

Yes, there is huge opportunity for Trump to recover his image a bit by signing massive deals to build the Pars gas field, LnG facilities (Iran has no LNG carriers), and oil reserves.

Iran is #2 in the world in gas reserves after Russia. And major exploration still left to do.

Iran has historically had a preference for American energy companies. Even under Bush admin Haliburton had Iranian operations. Technical capabilities aside, European, Russian, and Chinese companies signed deals and then dragged their feet due to sanctions or just geopolitical drama.

There is a way for Trump to spin this whole thing as major trade deals via energy, natural gas, Boeing airplanes (iran will need hundreds), rare earth metals, natural resources, etc.

It can be a win-win for all economically. If the willpower is there.
 
it's legally classified as an international strait as per article 37 of UNCLOS.
That doesn't make it "international waters" where "freedom of navigation" applies. They are "territorial waters", despite being an "international strait". "Innocent passage" applies, as it does in Suez and Panama. Authorities can charge a toll and stop and search.
 
We care about international law now?
this isn't something that either the US and Iran can decide bilaterally since nations around the world are impacted. 2m$ a vessel isn't small change and will add to the cost of energy exports from the middle east. That's an additional 2$ per barrel added to the cost of oil that passes through Hormuz.
 
I hope Inshallah the ceasefire holds permanently.
And if Pak estb has any foresight, they should get a waiver to buy Iranian oil. They should complete the oil pipeline to Gwadar. Build a refinery there (have Iran fund it) and then export refined petroleum from there.
All major countries will line up to buy. Bypass Hormuz and make is hostility proof.
Also boost our industry by providing construction materials (cement, rebars, sanitary, piping, etc) and other stuff.
