7. Not just crypto, Iran will accept payment in Chinese yuans

I missed something here. Saudi Arabia and the UAE who paid Krasnov to invade Iran are not going to agree to this toll booth.

Israel is not going to agree. Singapore has already said it won't pay the toll.

If Iran is allowed to charge tolls it will be able to rebuild its military many times over.

China and Russia are fine with the toll booth, but no other countries are. Iran will buy military equipment from Russia and China with the toll money.

Also, it is illegal for Iran to charge tolls in Hormuz, against maritime laws.

I think that this war is far from over, if this toll booth plan is allowed to proceed then Iran will become a military power in the ME.
