> Frankly it's a bit absurd to complain that your ships can't transit a country's waters while you bomb them.

The issue is they block all non-Iranian ships, not just American ships. Basically nobody would have complained if they only blocked American ships.

Incorrect, plenty of countries have had their ships transit the Strait including China, Philippines and Pakistan

They shot at Indian vessels, so you are wrong they are blocking neutral nations. India is not allied to USA or Israel. That they let some vessels through doesn't mean they don't shoot at neutral ships, they shoot at most neutral ships.

Pay toll and don't get your ship bombed.

They likely didn't pay to move their goods through the strait.
