Both of those were built and aren’t on a border of a country but fully inside one. Not that I agree how the Panama canal is handled or was built, mind you.
A better comparison would be the gilbraltar straight, which obviously no one owns.
To be clear, I would be doing the same if I was Iran but it is worrisome. Furthermore, Trump deserves what’s happening but not because of some hypocrisy linked to the St. Lawrence specifically.
The energy is right but the comparison isn’t imo, that’s all.

Otherwise known as a toll or a tax for passage
So it’s a toll when the US does it but a bribe when Iran does it
