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.

Reparations
To be fair other countries, that were not at all allied with the US, shouldn’t have to pay the reparations. I’m sure Iran will determine that though.
I think it will likely be called something besides a toll, and will be a way to remind other countries that the US lost the war that they started and if they want to blame someone that they should blame the US and seek to recoup any costs in future trades and deals with the US.
I feel like this was part of Trump’s plan all along. He sees a place where someone could be making money but isn’t, and that drives him up the f-ing wall. No idea what Trump’s angle on this might be, but considering how much of a hard-on he has for the Panama Canal and how the USA is missing-out on that revenue, I was pretty sure that fees would be charged when the straight of Hormuz reopened.
No. He’s not smart. He thought he’d win this easily and fucked it up like he does everything else. There is no master plan. He just a goddamn moron who routinely loses any negotiation he even bothers to see through to the end.
No disagreement there. He’s not a smart man.
I just have this odd feeling that he can’t stand the idea of anyone leaving money on the table, even if that money was never part of any plan ever before. I really think he might have started the war because for no other reason than Iran wasn’t charging fees for passage through the straight and he couldn’t stand to let it happen. That would be supremely stupid and I think Trump might be just dumb enough to have done it for that reason and only that reason.
You’re assuming it’s capable of connecting the dots so far as to understand that going to war with Iran (and losing it) would make the regime put a toll system on the strait. He’s by no means that smart.
No, he’s been talking about presidents in adding Iran to boost their terrible numbers since Obama was president.
The level of stupid you’re attributing to him is still far too generous. You’re still assuming he even knew blockading the strait was an option. I assure you, he’s too stupid to have considered it. He told kegsbreath to invade, and thought it would go the same as Venezuela.
Donnie asked if they’d give Melania the keys to his chastity cage back.
They said they’d unlock him for the night, for about wank on his birthday, but from now on he’ll have to pay for each release.
Way to go, cuckold in chief.
You should be placed in horny jail.
It’s like someone made a bot only with the instructions to say sexual stuff about every post. None of it needs to make sense, it’s just got to be sex sex sex and nothing’s off limits.
Even worse is that I’m being downvoted by gooners.
Remember guys, it’s a fee charged for passage through the strait. It’s NOT a toll!
See! Definitely NOT a toll!
Well duh? It’s neither a road nor a bridge. It can’t be a toll!
I don’t know man… Sounds like something a velociraptor would say…
Gee, thanks, USA. Can’t wait to see what you fuck up next.
Cuba.
Ah, I see they’re doing that themselves. Might work. Donnies dumb enough to buy it, perhaps.
Trump should tell Iran not to bring in maritime fees. In exchange he will get Israel out of Lebanon.
