Trump: Immediate Resumption of "Blockade Iran" Operations

Odaily Odaily reports that U.S. President Trump stated: The Strait of Hormuz is open and will remain open, with or without Iran. We will resume the "Blockade Iran" operations, so named because it only blocks Iranian ships or customers from entering or exiting. All other countries will have fair and open access to the strait. From this moment forward, the United States will be referred to as the "Guardian of the Strait of Hormuz." However, as the guardian, and in the spirit of fairness, the U.S. will charge a 20% fee on all cargo shipments to cover the costs required to provide security and safety in this volatile region. Related procedures and organizational work will commence immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! (Jin Shi)
