      tolls that get passed on to customers isn’t “good” for anyone but the toll-collector and, potentially, the embezzling oil company

          but “no oil at all” is what we’ve got. and it’s what we’ve had since this stupid war began, and it’s what we’ll have until it ends.

          and, frankly, I see the most likely scenario being that Trump fucked anyone out of any long-term position of being able to charge tolls, but, short-term, Iran will use it to negotiate for something else that it wants. something big. Like getting Israel to stop bombing Lebanon.
