The United States can maintain gas prices under 4 dollars based strictly on Canadian and US reserves and refining

As a net exporter of petroleum products and crude oil, the U.S. overall makes more revenue when fossil fuel prices rise

The strategic reserve is about 58% full. This is up from historic lows of around 350 million barrels in 2022-2023 after major drawdowns

Careful who you listen to. Money is made by selling panic.

This post sure didn't age very well.
A terribly uninformed post from just one month ago March 6th.





That was for a two week war, which I believed it would be ant the time. Are you really arguing in that bad of faith that you think that wouldn't change as the war extended? Come on now.

And to be fair, gas is barely over $4 nationally.


Cool story.
You never said that.
Your quote on Page 1 of this thread is pretty clear.
For some reason, you will do the most intricate mental gymnastics NOT TO ADMIT THAT YOURE WRONG.

Another cool story.
Your post never indicated any timeline at all.

Only someone terribly naive or a blind follower of Donald Trump would think this would be a 2-week war.
Or maybe you're name is Pete Hegseth?

You're a funny guy.
Thanks for the laugh!

I was told by SB Gold that you were having great difficulty remembering what you posted about gas not going > $4
I'm glad that I could help REFRESH your memory.

You're welcome.

Dude actually claimed that I posted some "random guys car and license plate" when it's mine.

"as you weirdly post some random person's car and license plate. Stalker type shi"

He doesn't ever seem to THINK before he posts.
Hard to believe that he's teaching at a private middle school that costs $30,000 a year.

I don't believe that for a single minute.
Would you?




You posted a random persons Tesla truck. I guess when you post so often you forget what you post lolololol

Yes that's exactly what I said. You posted a random person's Tesla with their license plate that you saw driving home like a creepy stalker. Thank you for confirming that you did that, exactly like I said. Not sure what you're missing

Who cares if their plate is showing?
Why would that matter?

Cars have license plates on them.
duh.

Because it's not yours to post publicly and that's weird. Maybe you should go back and fix your post that calls me out for being wrong when in fact I said exactly what you did, posted someone else's car. Now you're moving the goal posts.

Oh wait you can't, it got removed lol

You're free to use the ignore feature.
But you'll never use it because it would give you nothing to do all day and no one to reply to.

Lmfao.

lol no I enjoy watching you make yourself look silly and I don't block opinions I disagree with. Very unAmerican. I reply to everyone that replies to me, that's how message boards work. You just block people and then talk about them anyways

He posted about it awhile back. Maybe even more than once. You'd know that if you didn't put everyone you disagree with on ignore.

Looks like you didn't make it to the end of the year like you said. DACO like usual

What international law says

The key framework is the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

For major shipping chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz, UNCLOS defines something called:

"Transit passage"

That means:
Ships (including oil tankers) have the right to pass through continuously
Coastal states (Iran and Oman) cannot impede or condition that passage



2) Are tolls allowed?

In general:
You cannot charge a toll just for passing through a strait used for international navigation
You cannot make passage conditional on payment

However:
You can charge fees for specific services, like:
Pilotage
Tug assistance
Port services
But those must be:
Non-discriminatory
Voluntary (in principle)
Service-basednot a transit tax



3) Why Hormuz is different from something like the Suez Canal

Compare:
Suez Canal
Artificial canal
Egypt can legally charge tolls

vs.
Strait of Hormuz
Natural strait
Covered by transit passage rules
No tolls just for crossing

That's the critical legal distinction.



4) So if Iran charged a "fee," what would that be?

It would likely be framed as:
"Security fee"
"Escort fee"
"Insurance stabilization"
Or simply enforced informally

But legally, many countries would argue:

It's a de facto illegal toll, even if labeled differently



5) Real-world enforcement reality

Here's the practical truth:
International law says no tolls
But enforcement depends on:
Power
Naval presence
Willingness to challenge it

So a country can try to impose feesbut:
It would be highly contested
Potentially escalatory



Bottom line
A pure "transit toll" in Hormuz is generally not allowed under international law
Limited service fees are allowed
In practice, a "fee" could still emergebut it would sit in a legal gray/conflict zone
