Ein guter Moment, sich an NZZ-Schlagzeilen zu erinnern.

Could a Hormuz toll solve the oil crisis and who pays? With a return to the pre-Iran conflict energy status quo unlikely, a Hormuz toll may be the next best option – but Gulf states would pay the most

The economic logic of a Hormuz tollbooth: Arabs would bear 90% of the cost global oil consumers only 10%.
