Ronin_5 comments on Hormuz traffic has climbed to its highest levels since the early days of the war, as more countries secure apparent safe-passage agreements with Iran.

Oil through the strait only accounts for 20%. This just breaks the monopoly of all avenues being US aligned. There's other ways to buy oil.

Weird how when that oil is no longer available the price of other oil goes up, almost like there's an economy involved that doesn't care where it comes from

I think downvoting is silly idky you're getting downvoted, while I don't agree with you I think it's still constructive to have this conversation.

I already wrote another comment just now so I hope you read what I wrote, but I'll try to get my point across differently again here.

If two people in a group started beating me up, I would try to get my hospital bills paid for by them. If the rest of the people in that group cheered them on while they put me in the hospital, I would seek payment for the damages committed by their friends.

China / Malaysia / Philippines / Spain don't pay the tolls because they aren't materially supporting the aggression, I would hope the brits have to pay some sort of reparations for their support thus far.
