Trump has now effectively agreed to the arrangement mentioned in post 4 of this thread. From AP: "Iran and Oman will collect tolls from all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz during a 2-week ceasefire."

The whole plan: According to state media IRIB, includes guarantees of non-aggression against Iran; continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz; recognition of Tehran’s right to uranium enrichment; lifting of US primary and secondary sanctions; termination of UN Security Council 1 of 4

I am no expert in decyphering Trump rants, but this doesn't seem like an explicit acceptation of the tolling system to me. He might well have made such a concession, but let's see what really happens in the next hours...

This tweet is more insane than the one yesterday.

Does this guy really see this as a financial opportunity and does he really think this is the beginning of a golden age?

The destruction, cost and death were substantial and recovery will take years.

What an incredibly disturbed individual.

“Big money”?
The USA and Friends should pay for everything and not make a cent out of this devastation.
The war criminals are still criminals this morning. And not a single thing will happen.

Trump gave control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran and its military, which it had before Trump started his illegal and unjustified war.

Where's the point in US service personnel or Iranians losing their lives or being injured?

There is a major change: before Trump started the war, the strait was free to pass for everybody, nobody had to pay to Iran.

Le passage est devenu payant grace à Trump.

Il était auparavant LIBRE...

Que ne comprenez-vous pas ?

Prochaines étapes : privatisation de la route arctique par la ruSSie, puis le détroit de Taïwan par la RPC.

Trump a gagné en bourse tout en aidant l'Iran, la Chine et la ruSSie

Great stuff. He half destroyed a country and killed thousands of people just to have the right to pay a tax to get past Hormuz, which in the past was free?

If/when hostilities end, no ship is going to pay a cent as it is against international laws of open maritime corridors.

Israel will just wait for the right moment to flare up hostilities and this war will end when either Iran or Israel is destroyed.

Well before Trump attacked Iran and started the war, passage was free. So who to blame here?

This meme is perfect for the moment.

Not only is it unsurprising that Trump TACO’d, he did it in a way that allowed himself and those closest to him to profit from placing bets.

So what has he achieved exactly in all his epic fury? - a temporary pause to 🇮🇷 missile production but now the West must deal with a jihad threat like never seen before & an unhindered 🇮🇷 regime circumvents sanctions via a ‘pirate’ tax in an international shipping lane & threatens the entire region? 🫠

Some accounts are saying that other versions of the agreement make no reference to this point. However, I can’t see Trump ending the ceasefire over other people being fleeced, so it does appear as if the principle will stand.
