Iran refuses to reach a temporary ceasefire agreement and demands tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

This move by Iran is essentially a bargaining chip exchange. They are well aware that the United States, during this election year (or in a multipolar context), does not want to get involved in a new Middle East war.
However, the likelihood of negotiating toll fees is very low. Why? Because it touches the bottom line of "freedom of navigation." Not only the U.S. would oppose it, but European and even several Asian oil-importing countries would also feel pressure. If they do impose tolls, it would be equivalent to acknowledging Iran as the "marine overlord" of the region, which would be disruptive to the current international order. #Gate广场四月发帖挑战
