šØ Something big just came out of Tehranā¦
Iran is pushing a bold new rule: any ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz must pay tolls in Iranian Rial ā no USD, no alternatives.
And this isnāt just talk. Around 250 MPs have already backed the move, showing strong internal support.
Why does this matter?
Because the Strait of Hormuz isnāt just any route ā it carries nearly 20% of global oil and over a third of the worldās gas supply. Any shift here doesnāt stay local⦠it shakes the entire energy market.
At the same time, Iran is projecting confidence. A senior parliamentary figure claimed the country has already stood firm against major global powers and now sees itself among the worldās top-tier players.
Meanwhile, despite heavy sanctions, Iranās oil exports have reportedly climbed to 1.6M barrels per day, signaling that restrictions arenāt hitting as hard as expected.
This isnāt just about tolls.
Itās strategy. Itās signaling. Itās leverage.
And if tensions rise even slightly from here⦠markets wonāt stay calm for long.
