Trump said Tuesday evening that the U.S. would agree to a two-week suspension of hostilities against the Islamic Republic on the condition that it agree to “the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz.” But vessel traffic through the strait, a vital artery for about 20% of the world’s oil supply, remains tightly throttled, as it has since the war began on Feb. 28. Iran is meanwhile planning to charge shipping firms fees, to be paid in cryptocurrency, to allow their vessels to sail through the waterway, the Financial Times reported Wednesday. “There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait,” Trump wrote in Thursday’s post. “They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!” he wrote

The United States and Iran are mulling a “joint venture” to charge tolls on the Strait of Hormuz, ABC correspondent Jonathan Carl says US President Donald Trump told him. “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people,” Trump is quoted as claiming to the correspondent. “It’s a beautiful thing.”


So is he mad they are trying to charge, or mad he’s not getting his cut?

Just bomb them into oblivion already. They will never stick to an agreement. If we leave like this they will be back to business as usual within a year or two.

It’s probably some 16 year old kid in his mom’s basement in New Jersey.

Over 80% if the populace opposes the regime. It's tough to have an uprising when you're unarmed. You want death for innocent civilians? Thankfully even crazy sounding Trump had much more discipline and restraint than literally retards like you.

It seems a lot of people haven’t accepted that we are likely down to two options with Iran:

-a long, costly ground war

or

-a peace deal with a lot of crappy stuff in it

Let’s see if Trump telling them, “you better not”, is more effective than Biden and Kamala saying, “DON’T”.

Try to think critically and not just on the surface.
