The era of free passage through the Strait of Hormuz is over. Iran is collecting debts in exchange for sea passage.

“Trump cannot comprehend that the Iranian nation is strong and determined — the more pressure the US exerts, the stronger our will become”

This was announced by the country’s Ministry of Energy.

Also, Bangladesh has asked the US to allow the purchase of oil from Russia due to the pressure of global energy prices on the country’s economy.

A few minutes later…

Reuters quotes an Iranian source: We deny allowing oil tankers flying the Indian flag to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

“For 36 years, we believed that American bases were protecting us. But in the first war, we learned that we were actually protecting them.”

“If it weren’t for the incompetence of the Donald Trump administration, we probably would never have understood this.”

“It won’t protect them from inflationary tsunami they’ve imposed on Americans. Markets are facing biggest shortfall in history.”

“The presence of the US in the region, which is a source of corruption, must come to an end. They’ve started wars in this region. They’ve caused discord, seditions, and destruction. They’ve caused infrastructures to be destroyed. Of course, this is what they’ve done wherever they’ve set foot in the world.”

🇮🇷 Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya:

– Last night, the US and the Israeli regime targeted one of our banks after failing to meet their military goals. This unlawful and unconventional act of war has given us the green light to strike at American and Israeli economic centers and banks in the region.

– The Americans should brace themselves for our retaliatory actions.

– We advise people to stay at least one kilometer away from the banks in the area.

“I neither confirm nor deny reports about Russia or China assisting Iran.”

“If the enemy had won the war, he would not have used the whole world as an intermediary to announce a ceasefire.”

– We will not allow the export of a single liter of oil to America, the Zionists, and their allies through the Strait of Hormuz.

– Any ship carrying oil to America, Israel, and their allies in this aggression will be a legitimate target for us.

– Expect an oil price of $200 soon, because you will fail to save the oil market through artificial respiration.

The vessel left Dubai and ignored Iranian warnings not to enter the Strait of Hormuz.

The price has dropped since countries announced the emergency release of reserves to compensate for the deficit.

In addition, Trump said the war will end soon, so everyone assumes there will be no deficit.

The aid included:

— 10 tons of flour
— 6 tons of rice
— 2,4 tons of sugar
— 5 tons of water
— 600 kg of tea
— 2 tons of medicines and first aid kits

Azerbaijan obviously doesn’t want to escalate the situation with Tehran

🇺🇸🇰🇷 South Korea states, that it opposes the relocation of American Patriot missile defense systems from the Korean Peninsula to the Middle East, but acknowledges that it cannot prevent Washington from doing so.

President Lee Jae-myung said that Seoul has expressed objections, but admitted: “We cannot impose our position on the United States – that’s the reality.”

Reports indicate that Patriot batteries and other equipment may be relocated from American bases in South Korea to the Middle East, as US and Israeli operations against Iran are depleting air defense resources.

“We are fighting the people who are in the Epstein files”

Advisor to US President Donald Trump are urging him to “formulate a plan for the US withdrawal from the war with Iran” and announce to the public that “the military have largely achieved their goals”.

Donald Trump has also been informed of the results of some public opinion polls, according to which the majority of Americans are against the war. Moreover, WSJ sources speak of the advisors’ concern about rising oil prices and the related prospects for Republicans in the US midterm elections.

The president himself is reportedly surprised that Tehran is not surrendering, despite the achievements of the US-Israeli forces.

“Anyone who entertains the illusion of destroying Iran knows nothing of history. Aggressors have come and gone; Iran has endured” — Iran’s Masoud Pezeshkian

“Iran is the heir to a civilization at least 6,000 years old. Through the trials of history, no power has ever succeeded in erasing this storied name”
