The Hormuz Cycle, Cycle Six: A Seizure, a Near-Deal, and the Toll Authority Nobody Recognizes

Side-by-side comparison infographic titled "Two Leverage Cards, Two Strategies," contrasting Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority with Canada's potash export leverage across six attributes. Visibility: Iran's authority is public and named with an active social media account, while Canada makes no public acknowledgment its leverage exists.

Price tag: Iran reportedly charges up to two million dollars per passage, while Canada's leverage is not priced and held in reserve. Currency: Iran accepts Bitcoin or yuan, not applicable for Canada since no transaction has occurred.
