Iran wants you to pay a service fee because it is securing the Strait of Hormuz from threats by Iran. Patrick Wintour (@patrickwintour) Iran foreign ministry spokesman says "securing the Strait of Hormuz for navigation for safe passage by itself is a service", implying all ships passing through the strait should pay for the service. Iran is not calling this a toll, but a service fee.
