Iran projects $40bn a year from Strait of Hormuz tolls as Rubio insists Gulf states will block the scheme
Tehran is publicly floating $40bn a year in transit fees from the Strait of Hormuz while the US Secretary of State says Gulf partners want none of it — and a prediction market is already pricing the disruption.

This article builds on wire and aggregator reporting available at the timestamps listed in the sources. Monexus has independently corroborated the public statements (Rubio remarks, IMO evacuation halt, UK Navy vessel-hit report) against multiple wires; the Iranian $40bn projection is reported as a projection, not as an implemented toll, pending primary-source confirmation.
