All HELL BREAKS LOOSE after Trump Monday WAR DIRECTIVE!!!
"The USA will be from this point forward known as the guardian of the Hormuz Strait. But as such, and as a matter of fairness, we will be reimbursed at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the world."
President Trump announced the US will charge a 20 percent fee on all cargo transiting the Strait of Hormuz, declaring America the 'guardian' of the waterway while reinstating a blockade targeting Iranian ships. The policy, described by critics as a 'pirate doctrine,' comes as shipping data shows tanker traffic through the strait has fallen to its lowest level in two months. Iran's IRGC responded by stating the only way to reopen the strait is for the US to end its military intervention and respect coastal sovereignty.
