Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has said the Strait of Hormuz is “open to everyone” except Iran’s adversaries as he set out Tehran’s policy on X.
According to Boroujerdi, the move reflects what he called a new “sovereign regime” in the strait after decades. “Collecting $2 million as transit fees from some vessels crossing the strait reflects Iran’s strength,” Boroujerdi said.
“Now, because war has costs, naturally we must do this and take transit fees from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz,” he added, claiming the move shows the Islamic Republic’s “authority”.
Trump’s Threat
Boroujerdi’s remarks followed US President Donald Trump’s warning last week that the United States could target Iran’s power infrastructure if the strait is not reopened within 48 hours. Trump has said if Iran didn’t open the strait, the US would destroy its “various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!”
The Iranian lawmaker also referred to Trump’s threat, saying Israel’s energy infrastructure would be within Iran’s reach and could be destroyed “within a day”.
“The illusion of erasing Iran from the map shows desperation against the will of a history-making nation. Threats and terror only strengthen our unity. The Strait of Hormuz is open to all except those who violate our soil. We firmly confront delirious threats on the battlefield,” he wrote.
Iran’s Warning
Following Trump’s threat, Iran has said the Strait of Hormuz, crucial to oil and other exports, would be “completely closed” immediately if the US follows up on Trump’s threat to attack its power plants.

The Most Revolutionary Act 
Trump’s 24-notice of Iran’s power infrastructure getting bombed into oblivion turned into a 5-day notice which will probably turn into a seven weeks’ notice and then a two-month notice. You get the picture. The US is NOT calling the shots. Trump stated that the war had been won the first day, then he said that the US was winning on the second day, and then the next week, he was begging for help from NATO, the same NATO that he shouted to all and sundry that the US did NOT need. Then he became angry when NATO countries refused to assist the lunatic Trump and that mad dog, Netanyahu. Are we winning yet??!!! Oh, my bad! We won!! The Iranians just don’t know this yet since they are busily collecting $2 million in fees from each ship that makes it through the Strait of Hormuz!! Iran, carry on!!!

I saw a press conference yesterday, Shelby, in which Trump claimed the war was over and and reports to the contrary from the New York Times, ABC, CNN, etc were fake news.

Motor mouthed, egomaniacal Trump has been sucked in to this whole mess because he is controlled by the genocidal, Pollock zionazi Netanyahu! Now both of those muppets have been embarrassed by the Iranians, who wanted nothing but to be left alone! They have endured the ongoing sanction regime by the JooSA for almost 60 years, but now they decided that enough was enough!! They are entitled to defend themselves from the zionists and the hegemonic Yanks and are doing a fantastic job! They need to finish the zios off in order to live in peace and are more than entitled to any fees that they collect for transit through the Strait!

I saw an interview with Pepe Escobar, loongtip, who compared it to the Chinese game of Go. The Iran and China have spent years laying the trap and Trump and Yetanyahu fell straight in.
