An Iranian ship named IRGC Toll Collect has appeared in the Strait of Hormuz, according to MarineTraffic data reported by @MarioNawfal. The vessel's name matches the branding Tehran has used while floating the idea of charging vessels $2 million per transit. The Strait of Hormuz carries 21 percent of global oil.
MarineTraffic data shows the ship positioned in the waterway. No shots have been fired. No blockade has been declared. @MarioNawfal reported that the vessel's presence functions as a flag planted where the world cannot ignore it.
