Iran controls Strait of Hormuz with toll station system as war intensifies

Iranian forces have reportedly established a "toll booth" control mechanism to monitor and restrict traffic through the strategic Straits. Reports from March 26 indicate that this new tactic is being used alongside other measures like escorted passage corridors, suggesting an escalation in Iran's operational capacity within key maritime zones during ongoing conflict with Israel. The implementation of these toll stations aims to exert pressure on shipping lanes while maintaining a visible presence over critical trade routes connecting the Persian Gulf and Red Sea regions.
