There are reasons why former American presidents didn't invade Iran.
But Trump,power drunk and blinded by arrogance decided to walk where the former presidents refused to tread.
Before the unjust war,Iran wasn't controlling the Strait of Hormuz,but they're in control of the Strait now, even collecting tolls.
Only Trump can do that.

God bless the Islamic republic of Iran

Why is Iran asking for tolls on international waters. They are truly terrorist

Shebi Trump thinks the world is in his palms ni. Smh.

Justice for the 168 innocent Iranian children bombed to death by US tomahawk bombs on the orders of Trump.

You are right. And on the flip side, If you exit a war without achieving your reason for starting the war in the first place, it means you lost.


Thank you for your attention to this matter

Go and sit down.

Do you know if I have dual citizenship with that US that you want to lay claim to?

The Strait of Hormuz has become a focal point of the US-Israel war with Iran after Tehran effectively choked off one of the world's most important shipping lanes

A two-week US-Iran ceasefire agreed on Tuesday included a condition that "safe passage" through the narrow waterway would be guaranteed.

However, vessels in the area have received messages that they would be "targeted and destroyed" if they attempted to cross the strait without permission, and only a few ships have made the journey over the past three days.

By 17:00 BST on 10 April only 19 ships had been tracked passing through the strait since the ceasefire.

Of these, four were tankers carrying either oil, gas or chemicals. The rest are listed as bulk carriers or container ships of various types.

That's based on BBC Verify analysis of ship-tracking data from MarineTraffic. Other ships have made the journey without broadcasting their location.

That compares to an average of 138 ships passing through the strait each day before the conflict started on 28 February.

The disruption to shipping since the conflict began five weeks ago has sent shock waves across the global economy, destabilising energy prices and exposing just how reliant international supply chains are on the channel that connects the Gulf with the Indian Ocean.

Shipping analysts say vessel owners will remain cautious about crossing the strait until the situation becomes clearer.

"Most shipping lines would want to get details and reassurances on what it actually takes to transit and those details are not available," Lars Jensen from Vespucci Maritime told the BBC.

Richard Meade, editor-in-chief of Lloyd's List says it has been a "very dangerous" time for ship owners who still face a huge amount of uncertainty.

"We know Iran is essentially still in control of the strait, and the assumption is that ship owners will still need to seek permission from the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps]… and how that's going to work is still not clear."

BBC Verify's analysis of the paths taken by the ships shows them taking a northern route through the strait close to Iran's coastline, within its territorial waters.

Prior to the conflict, vessels usually took a more southerly route through the middle of the waterway.

'Nearly 800 ships stuck'

If crossings do resume at a greater pace, Meade expects stranded tankers that are fully loaded with cargo will be the priority.

"You've had nearly 800 ships stuck in there for several weeks. Most of them are now loaded with cargo so the priority is going to be to get them out."

The duration of the ceasefire - set to last two weeks - also brings uncertainty for ships, says Niels Rasmussen, a shipping analyst from BIMCO.

"I doubt there will be a large influx of ships into the Gulf… because they do not want to risk being trapped after the two-week window closes."

Another uncertainty is the possibility of sea mines, says Thomas Kazakos, secretary general of the International Chamber of Shipping.

"We need to make sure that we have clear confirmation that the safety of navigation for the ships and the seafarers are being agreed," he told BBC Verify.

Toll payments

On top of these concerns, ships face the uncertainty of possibly having to make payments to Iran in order to secure safe passage - following reports that tolls may be a part of the ceasefire deal.

"The Iranian negotiation position seems to be that you need to pay a toll to go through the strait and shipping lines will also be hesitant in going down the path of paying that toll," says Jensen.

Trump should lower his ego and let Iran collect tolls for a specific period to pay for the war damages he caused by starting a war during negotiations. They should use style and ask from Iran a percentage to offset their own expenses 😁

They said 20% of the world's oil pass through there but I think it's about 80%

Be deceiving yourself.

Freudian slip "there".

Mattswaggz:
US is about to play Iran in their own game.....the US is presently making a blockade on the straits which means that no body(even those approved by Iran) will be able to use the straits. .

Nwaikpe:
The US now owns the Strait.

Make Iran put body and see.

unclejb2:
not even Iran themselves can use the Strait now.

If Iran can't sell oil to China, the regime in Iran is doomed.

If China can't buy cheap oil from Iran and Venezuela, the Chinese economy will suffer greatly.

Anyhow you look at it, the US won fair and square on this

Nwaikpe:
Iran cannot withstand any suffering
Because they don't even know what enjoyment is.



It's an irrelevant state that has been at the forefront of world politics by nothing more than noise.
Israel shut that noise up in 30 seconds.

You are wrong.

The greatest lesson is courage and diligent planning execution.


Do not go to war banking on leverage. The western media propaganda wants to mess up your head with a watery word such as leverage. It is WAR , not stock market or business deals!

Everyone is scared of Iran's arsenal of missiles, drones and rockets, not scared of the strait. In the 1980s, the strait was a shooting range but vessels still passed. However, then Iran has no drone technology, underground missile cities etc.

If Iran had not built a resilient plan, the martyring of their leaders would have made them lose against their brutal aggressors.

Iranians are courageous enough to build a long term plan based on pragmatic planning in the face of sanctions of decades. Those missile cities built 500 meters under mountains and axis of resistance in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Palestine are not built by leverage, they are products of courage, hardwork and diligent plan execution.

Now Iran is consolidating on what it achieved militarily. Trump did not see that coming because he thinks in short term and lost the war.

Mattswaggz:
Yes....very strategic move...I am not sure Iran saw this coming.

Sccarrr:
they own it but can't open it😹😹😹 clowns
