Trump’s talking about a “joint venture” with Iran for charging tolls, weird that he feels that might have to make this concession, right?

He’s mentioned this possibility before, by the way.
India and Pakistan have been running the “closure” several times with escorts, successfully. All it would take a is a naval coalition of 3-4 countries and the strait is effectively open - and no toll.
Iran is in a far worse position now than it was a month ago (and it was in a bad position back then). It’s a matter of time before Iran is no longer able to project any force in the gulf. And all the countries in the Middle East will be happy it happened.
