Let's just clarify a Trump lie: The #StraitOfHormuz IS NOT CLOSED. 90 tankers have safely transited owned by nations not aligned with its attackers. China, India, Thailand vessels carrying Iranian oil, and who paid a million+ transit fee, have made safe passage guided by and using special codes provided by Iran to avoid mines and drones. Iran accepts funds made only in Chinese yuan.

So, I guess their Ayatollah has imposed his own version of a Trump tariff, only in Iran's version, foreign countries are made to pay. Trump has made Trump's War Profitable for Iran.

@pattykimura it isn't a tariff - tariffs are paid by US companies during import - this is a fee plain and simple - its smarter, ironically
@mahadevank Yup, I should have put "tariffs" in quotes, I was being snarky because yes, their Ayatollah is smarter than the Orange Skid Marks.
