Excellent point about an Iranian “tollgate” being a potentially stabilizing development. Gives them a vested interest in the Strait continuing to be busy conduit for petroleum exports. If that’s the price of ending their nuke threat … seems like a good deal. https://t.co/BsgdDpmZ2S

Note: Power to charge tankers a toll isn’t necessarily power to close the strait entirely. You could grant Iran the former power without giving it the latter-ie if they do the latter they violate the deal. The former power is not “control.” Lot of mischief in that word.
