The US Iran war is triggering the birth of a new Iran— an Iran that weaponises the Hormuz strait effectively, with a hardline leadership unrestrained by late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s ‘fatwa’ against nuclear weapons. The war that was supposed to weaken Iran, to break it, has instead handed it a weapon it has never used before in its modern history. Iran is floating something extraordinary: a toll-booth system. A fee of approximately $2 million per ship to transit the strait. In this latest episode of The Link, Shubhangi Sharma explains why it is a game-changer with historical context.
