This article makes no sense. First, it claims that the Strait is in Omani water, then says it's both Iran's and Oman's. (Oman has a tiny bit of coastline in the area; Iran is enormous.)
But most absurd is the idea that Iran could not enforce tolls simply because there is no narrow toll gate. Did the author not watch the present conflict? Iran doesn't need a narrow entryway to tell who is in the Strait, nor do they need a complicated setup to simply shoot at ships from their very long and high coastline.
If insurers believe the ships they cover will be targets, those ships won't be transiting. It's quite simple.
