Putin Orders Urgent Action As Ukraine Hits Kids Inside College Dorm In Deadly Attack

Iran is no longer just controlling the Strait of Hormuz - it now wants the world to pay for using it. Tehran says it is discussing a permanent toll system with Oman to regulate traffic through one of the world’s most critical oil chokepoints. The proposal comes after months of war, shipping chaos and soaring energy prices triggered by the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Iranian officials argue that securing and managing the waterway comes at a cost, and countries benefiting from Hormuz transit must “pay their share.”
