SS: Iran has announced plans to introduce a system of maritime fees in the strait of Hormuz in two months, after the 60-day period of negotiation that has been triggered by the signing of the memorandum of understanding.
Tehran, claiming a historic victory over the US, said the strait was under its control and a European plan for a naval mission to escort ships though the strait would not be welcome.

It’s over boys
Turn out the lights, the party’s over
They say that all, good things must end

Brilliant gambit, Mr. President.

Guessing this will set a precedent for any country with a strait/sea corridor to start charging fees?
I get that other countries didn’t want to get involved in the mess that US made but after the MoU signing and „peace“ can Iran just charge fees with no repercussions? Or will countries start looking for alternatives?

Oh yeah that’s right. It’s not a “toll,” it’s a “fee” 😑

So I guess all ships will go through the Omani side the strait.

This is overturning a hundred or more years of US strategic foreign initiatives of freedom of navigation

Trump didn’t say that did he?

Way to go, America. Once again they created a problem that didn’t exist and now the world is worse off.
The best part? The “deal” Trump just signed is exactly how things were in 2016-17

> „But the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, challenged the Iranian plan. He said: “The management of the strait was working fine before the conflict. There were no issues. Ships were navigating freely. There was no safety issue. There was no environmental issue.
> „So why should we now, as a result of a conflict, accept some novel arrangement that is going to be imposed on it? That, to me, doesn’t make sense. **So I think we need to go back to the way it was, and that worked fine, and that should be the end of it.**“
Does anyone seriously believe there is a possibility of „going back to the way it was“? That ship has sailed. This is the new normal.

Be nice if the rest of the world united and send US invoices for this cost. It’s a problem created by them, they can suck up.

This’ll tank shipping costs overnight once everyone reroutes around Africa. Iran’s banking on countries being too tired to push back.

It’s like letting the genie out of the box by our Allauddin trump. Only thing different is now the genie will make all its own wishes come true.
It just goes to show humans are doomed there are no good intentions and only was we can live is brewing conflicts.
There was no need to make this statement at this nth hour of returning peace
I don’t think US has the face to reignite the conflict, instead it will now empower the gulf countries by selling them weapons
Get ready for a larger conflict or war in the coming years where only country making money will be US without spending.
