For comparison, the JCPOA ('Iran Deal') payment that everyone in MAGA excoriates was $1.7bn.

The $2m-per-ship toll regime on the Strait would generate at normal traffic something like $40bn *each year* for Iran (120 ships per day at $2m per split 50/50 with Oman).

But hey, this deal wasn’t done by a black guy and Americans actually died this time!

And it only cost the US a billion a day to achieve this “art of the deal” miracle.

It may have outed the US as a paper tiger, permanently destroys its standing in the world, cost 2 billion dollars a day and depleted is ammunition for years to come, but at least now everything will be more expensive and iran gets 40 million dollars for the us every day.

So the terms of the ceasefire, if they held beyond the end of hostilities, would be Trump giving Iran something like 25-Iran-Deals worth of cash *per year* in exchange for not limiting their nuclear program at all, apparently (they have not promised to give up the HEU).

My expectation for this war was 'everyone loses,' but to be honest, if those terms hold and Iran gets to pull in $40bn a year from the Strait to fund their proxies and build their nuclear program - if this is the deal - then honestly the Iranian regime simply...won.

And that’s 1.7b that was Iran’s own money already that had been sanctioned.

how many barrels does a tanker hold (roughly speaking)

There's a range - the biggest around a couple of million. Around 1m barrels plus or minus, as far as I know, for a Suezmax tanker.

genuine question: who are they payers in the current negotiated scenario (limited though our understanding of it is) for the Iran/Oman toll here? The company owning the ships in question? The government under which they are flagged?

From what i know: in previous scenarios similar to this, the companies have always been the ones that pay.
