One thing about this war is that America is trying to play big Brother by making peace with Iran.
They are also the one stopping Israel from going into full scale scale war with Iran

They actually don't need your love, who your love help? And about your respect, they don't even know you exist.

The Iranians did not capitulate, it was Trump that backed down, stop listening to American propaganda.

What Trump threatened to do would have been considered a war crime if he had gone ahead with it
Your revisionist history ain't gonna work because it was all over Frontpage severally - "Iran would never agree to ceasefire to open Hormuz, only total end of war with written guarantees from US and Israel to never attack them again. " See one below

Donald should ease his demand. Iran is a sovereign nation. You cant tell them not to have any defense at all. His vice president went in braggadocious and issuing commands like he is talking to his kids. Respect is earned, not forced. Trump and his team should realize their actions is traumatizing the world. He might be fine with it, which I dont think his people are fine with but the rest of the world is at the receiving end. They should stop inflicting pain on other countries unnecessarily.

As for Iran, there is a thin line between being the oppressed and being the oppressor. Small challenge, you don hold the world to ransom. It will get to the stage where you not not a victim anymore but the oppressor cos denying people that route that you didn't create means making life difficult for others. If you are bombing just US now, its a different thing but destroying and using that route as a means of extortion on other countries shows you had a sinister plan before. It will then get to a stage the rest of the world will fight back cos of your selfishness. Go back to negotiations and reach an agreement.

Gotocourt:
The legal status of tolling in the Strait of Hormuz is complex and involves several international legal frameworks:
Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), coastal states cannot demand payment for passage through straits, including the Strait of Hormuz, simply for permission to transit.

Iran has proposed legislation to impose tolls on vessels passing through the strait, which would require ships to obtain permits and licenses, effectively creating a controlled transit system.

The proposed tolls could be as high as $2 million per ship, with revenue intended for rebuilding Iran following recent military actions.

However, the legality of such tolls is still under scrutiny, as UNCLOS explicitly prohibits charging fees for passage unless specific services are provided.


This situation raises significant questions about the legality and implications of tolling in a vital global shipping route.

The thing is why is America still talking about this nuclear deal

Does it mean after the freedom of war it waged in Iran with Israel it still can erase the nuclear

Then the war is a failure if you need deal, they are about to go another round to see who owns homuz and America navy would soon discover why others are not joining it
the Iranian nuclear plant has bn completely obliterated and d nuclear deal d USA are talking about is that they will never pursue a nuclear weapon ambition in d future cos it means de ja vu. U really think Iran can actually win a war against d US?my friend d only reason why Iran is still in dis warvis because trump is trying to avoid a war crime allegation by avoiding heavy civilians casualties but watch out for dis second phase of d war and see how Iran will b taking back to d stone age

''SMALL CHALLENGE''?

OVER 7,000 TARGETS BOMBED IN IRAN BY USA AND ISRAEL, PLUS 5,000 CIVILIANS SLAUGHTERED IN AN UNPROVOKED, ILLEGAL INVASION IN VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, IS WHAT YOU CALL ''A SMALL CHALLENGE''.

IF IRAN HAD WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND BOMBED 5,000 AMERICAN CIVILIANS TO SMITHEREENS, INCINERATING THEM IN THEIR HOMES, WOULD YOU CONSIDER IT ''A SMALL CHALLENGE'' FROM AMERICA'S PERSPECTIVE?

GOD WILL SHOW YOU PEOPLE OF THIS WICKED WORLD THAT HE LOVES ALL HIS CHILDREN EQUALLY, WITH NONE MORE WORTHY THAN THE OTHER.

AND UNTIL YOU LEARN THIS FACT, THE WORLD WILL KNOW NO PEACE.

Stop watching nonsense news on CNN, FOX and BBC news, they are biased and filter the truth always. Use your own intelligence and thinking. How will US block or stop ships from passing out of the Strait when 3 of the biggest aircraft have since fled the area due to multiple damages from Iranian missiles and are currently undergoing repairs. Dont believe all the nonsense and blabs of Dumb Trump, he cant dare try stop any ship. Iran is only currently respecting the ceasefire at the moment, once the ceasefire ends Iran missiles will destroy all the 3 naval destroyers US placed in the Strait and send them back to where they came from. US dont know who they are dealing with, you cant just bully and threaten everyone into submission as if every country is your kid.
grin grin
He should not take information from people on ground but instead use his own intelligence and thinking? Omo U too funny. U didn't even present alternate news channels he should listen to, even if it's nta news. So someone who hasn't been to Iran or even the strait of Hormuz before should use his own thinking to make judgements? No wonder your submission is too shallow and emotion-driven

It's a dog eat dog world now. Both the US and Israel have no regards for the UN. They've simply used the UN charters on human rights and dignity to wipe their bum bum, and spat on virtually all of its conventions. So, why should Iran now?

You won't say the same if you were an Iranian. How sensitive can they be. Why must they build nuclear weapons and want to collect a toll on an international sea. Are they the owners of the season??.
I don't like Donald Trump's excuse for war but now I'm beginning to see that they were right that Iran were building nukes so they can use it anyhow on any nations that vexes them. Also those Shia people don't fear or care about death, a more reason not to allow them own nukes

That will be nice. At least we will do away with petrodollar. Enough of the dollar printing, while everyone else works hard for value
😂 Oga Nigeria can decide not to use dollar anymore. The problem is, you always want to buy things from them so they would decide what currency you will pay them. There are deals Nigeria did with China with the Chinese currency too. That's partly how you make your currency valuable

A friend in the US army a safe actually hint me that the period of ceasefire is been used to carry out more deeper studies as about Iranian secret Arsenal which has be going successful through thorough monitoring of remote areas, movement of key figures out of hiding after the ceasefire was announced etc. Iran should be better avoid the next stage of this conflict.

Tolls are being charged at the Panama and Suez canals
Hormuz shouldn't be different
It just needs a legal framework
Panama and Suez canal are different from the Hormuz strait. Those two are not natural waterways, they were created by their respective countries to ease waterway navigations, therefore, the respective countries have a right to charge on them. Strait of Hormuz doesn't belong to Iran, it is a natural waterway. Stop confusing people with your anti America ideological leanings.

Nigeria just uses every international problem to find excuses. Don't we have a refinery? Are we supposed to be buying crude oil since Dangote refinery is working well? Nigeria shouldn't have a problem whether Hormuz is open or closed.
