@VeroniqueB99 turns out it's really easy to get ships moving through Hormuz, you just recognize Iran's sovereignty https://www.wionews.com/world/french-ship-crosses-strait-of-hormuz-after-macron-backs-iran-s-sovereignity-1775218647423
French ship crosses Strait of Hormuz after Macron backs Iran's sovereignty

French President Emmanuel Macron took a firm stance against Trump's proposals on Iran, including suggestions of using force to secure the waterway, an idea Macron has publicly dismissed as “unrealistic.”

@yogthos 👍 shocked! I'm shocked I tell you! 🤣🤣🤣

@VeroniqueB99

Story that I heard from one bod in The City, is that Iran will let ships go through if they are paid ~$2million, but they are only accepting payments in Yuan, not dollars...

@BillySmith ...I know... but only certain provenances....

@VeroniqueB99

They initially heard about it as rumour, but they started to make an increased short-term profit on Yuan trades.

The currency price for Yuan now takes this extra demand into account.

Compared to Trump, P. T. Barnum looks like an amateur when it comes to putting on a circus.

I can already picture elephants and lions in the White House’s big beautiful ballroom; the clowns are already running rampant, and the rest of the country is also part of Trump’s circus.

He is going to hurt this Nation in so many ways just to stroke his own fragile ego.
