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.

3-2-1 Bombs Away!
They are going to do whatever they want knowing the US is not going to do anything about it except making threats.
At least that’s what I thought Vance had said….
Naw, Trump has already moved on to invading Cuba and probably Aruba. Sar
The Mullahs laugh now at Trump’s empty threats and bluster.
The MOU is silent on this matter (as it is so much else). Iran insists it orally agreed it would charge no “tolls” but retained the right to charge fees.
Call me shocked!
Why would you say that, when the opposit4e i true
“Iran announces plans to institute fees for Strait of Hormuz, after declaring victory over the United States”. Pay ‘em in ham sandwiches.
The MOU POTUS signed allows this.
Only fools could have believed Iran would not do this.
How can Iran say they won the Hundred Days’ War with America?
Deals with the Devil never work to one’s advantage. The only deal Allah will accept is the surrender of one’s soul.
That didn’t take long.
I keep hearing things in the news that aren’t true. First, that Trump
Was giving American money., and I mean it goes on and on. Can we just wait and see how this really goes. Between the democrats, Chinese, Iranian guard, Hamas, hezbollah, Russians, drug cartels, and even the Israeli’s (which might be trying to sabotage the agreement), I am going to wait and see. I am fairly certain Trump has no problem dropping bombs…
America didn’t achieve any of its political goals.
Iran achieved all of theirs.
Equipment and lives are secondary to that.
They can declare anything they want
> I thought it was agreed that there wouldn’t BE any fees, or tolls…. <
Maybe it’s a safety payment instead. Or a transit charge.
(Same difference, of course.)
We’re at the point where Iran holds most of the cards.
So Trump will let a lot of what they do slide.
Does he have any other realistic choices?
Some historian will answer that 50 years from now.
Which supreme leader declared victory?
