As US lifts its blockade, Tehran says fees to cover cost of managing waterway will come into effect at end of 60-day negotiation period

Tehran says fees to cover cost of managing waterway will come into effect at end of 60-day negotiation period

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.

The warning came as the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, had said Israel “will maintain the security zone in south Lebanon as long as our security needs require it”, referring to the more than 600 sq km of Lebanese territory occupied by Israeli troops along the border.

    Dum-dum donnie does it again.

    This fucking moron thinks international politics is just like his stupid gameshow or his daddy’s business was. He really does think he’s “great at ‘deals’”, and he probably has never been good at “deals” when running his daddy’s business. The guy fucked up running a casino, FFS.

    And the people that voted for him? And the ones that still back him? Jesus fucking christ, are they intolerable idiots.

    Try to picture a black Democrat with the same background - daddy’s business, blabbermouth for decades on shows like Stern’s, gets a game show handed to him, goes on to be President, then proceeds to fuck up everything, but minus the racism and misogyny. You think these fucking morons would not be able to see what a complete dumbass that person is?

    It’s only because he gives them license to be their worst selves that they continue to not see - or pretend to not see.

    All the humans living in and around Iran must be pretty pissed that some guy from the other side of the world came over and fucked things up for everybody.
