description: "Today, China's empty container ships wanted to pass through the strait but were also turned back. The reason is simple: there is no legal, unsanctioned way to pay the fee.The two-million-dollar toll is a small matter; what's important is to let the US know that if it doesn't lift or exempt all financial sanctions on Iran as soon as possible, the strait's traffic capacity will be capped at 10% of pre-war levels, leaving only black ships that have no contact with the Western compliance system."
