**Strait of Hormuz May Become Toll Route After War, Says Rubio**

Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the Strait of Hormuz could potentially become a toll route after the current conflict if Iran attempts to charge ships for passage through the critical global waterway. Speaking after meetings with G7 foreign ministers, Rubio said the international community must be prepared to prevent any “illegal” toll system that could disrupt global trade and energy markets. The Strait of Hormuz carries a large share of the world’s oil and gas shipments, making its security vital for the global economy. Rubio emphasized that allies in Europe and Asia may need to help secure the shipping lane once the war ends, warning that allowing a toll system could give Iran long-term leverage over international energy supplies and maritime trade.
