Iran’s just cutting out the British middleman.

Perhaps setting the precedent for British/French/Spanish/Moroccan taxes for passage through the English Channel and Straits of Gibralter, both narrower than the Straits of Hormuz. And the Baltic, even narrower and controlled by Denmark on both sides. And many other straits.

Unintended consequences.

Not to mention southern access to the Red sea. So much for the pipelines being used and expanded there.
