The Iranians "discovered" they can control world trade by imposing tariffs on ships transiting through their strait of Hormuz. They made this discovery when the US and Israel attacked them in the latest war.
But now, Donald Dumb is jealous that the Iranians stand to make tons of money from that discovery, and as someone who lives for money and nothing else, he wants a piece of the Strait of Hormuz pie even tough the US has no territorial claims to that region of the world.
Yesterday Saturday, Donald Dumb said he will impose tariffs in the Strait of Hormuz. In a largely incomprehensible post, he said, "…there will be NO tolls after the 60 day period has expired, unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America, should the deal not be completed, for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs".
Transit through the narrow sea passage between the Iranian mainland and the Arabian peninsula accounts for 20 percent of the world's daily oil supply during peacetime. Iran had never used it before as a pressure tool, but Trump's war against Iran has opened the Iranians' eyes to leveraging the passage to make money and to exercise political control on international trade. Its on-again, off-again blockade has choked off supply routes, roiling the global economy and causing crude oil prices to briefly peak at near record-highs of $126 per barrel in late April.
Iran's joint military command said it intended to close the corridor again if Israeli strikes don't stop in Lebanon, despite a ceasefire seemingly agreed upon by both the Hezbollah thugs and the Zionist barbarians.
"In view of the United States' bad faith and its clear breach of its commitments by failing to implement the first article of the memorandum ending the war, and in response to the continuous and ongoing violation of the ceasefire by the Zionist regime in southern Lebanon"… The Iranian military command announced that "the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to the passage of vessels".
Representatives from both the US and Iran are set to hold an initial round of technical-level talks in Switzerland today Sunday. The U.S. delegation consists of US Vice-president Vance, and Trump's Laurel and Hardy real estate leeches, his "special envoys" Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, whose task is to find out how to make money out of conflicts and wars, often triggered by Trump himself.
