The Tollbooth at the Edge of Empire: Washington Sets Fire to Hormuz and Charges the World for Water

The Trump administration claims it is defending freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, yet its latest policy reveals something very different: a naval blockade of Iran, a bid to control one of the world's most strategic waterways and a proposed 20 percent charge on global commerce passing through it.

Washington’s response exposed the alliance for what it is: a command system that turns allied territory into launchpads, public budgets into war tribute, and dissent into a target for economic coercion.
