He has declared the US military is &#8220;reinstating the Iranian blockade&#8221; due to the IRGC continuing to try and enforce Iran&#8217;s own protocol. This could of course amount to a US &#8216;fee&#8217; of tens of millions of dollars for each vessel, significantly more than what Iran was seeking to impose. Iran&#8217;s retaliation continues?

His words have raised eyebrows given Washington&#8217;s stance has been that no one can collect tolls for transit through the vital international waterway. He said once the US gains control of it, following a weekend bombing campaign on Iranian coastal sites, &#8220;we&#8217;ll probably run it&#8221; and &#8220;we should be reimbursed for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;We\u2019re going to keep the strait, and we\u2019ll probably run it.

And we should be reimbursed for that,&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0he says in the Fox phone interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, US officials have throughout Operation Epic Fury voiced that it is an illegal outrage for Iran to suggest it would charge fees, but now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&#038;embedId=twitter-widget-0&#038;features=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%3D%3D&#038;frame=false&#038;hideCard=false&#038;hideThread=false&#038;id=2076643504306999682&#038;lang=en&#038;maxWidth=560px&#038;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fgeopolitical%2Fdispute-whether-hormuz-open-rages-ships-continue-transiting&#038;sessionId=917d6742c4d1e83fec5b809c1695e27df40866d6&#038;siteScreenName=zerohedge&#038;theme=light&#038;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&#038;width=550px<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a fuller transcript of the Monday morning exchange:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fox:<\/strong>\u00a0It looks like they&#8217;re back to trying to take control of the Strait, what&#8217;s your response?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trump:<\/strong>\u00a0Well, we&#8217;re taking over the straight. They have nothing, they&#8217;ve got nothing. So&#8230;. something that nobody knows, yesterday they had an eleven hour meeting, everything&#8217;s eleven hours with these guys you know you can&#8217;t settle a one sentence in, one hour, in one minute&#8230; It should be one minute\u2014But we had a deal, but nobody knows, we had a deal, it was a done deal, but then they broke it, they always break it. And so we&#8217;re just going to hit them very hard.

And we should reimbursed for that, when we do that we&#8217;re gonna be reimbursed because the other nations are very wealthy, they&#8217;re on our side. We guarded the Strait for 50 years, more, and, we never got paid for it. They made all the money and the US was just, you know, not, it&#8217;s just amazing. We guarded it for nothing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Iranians have been quick to respond, with its top military command asserting that Iran will not allow the US to intervene in the management of the strait. State-run IRNA also states:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran says we\u00a0<strong>will not be forced to pay the &#8216;enemy&#8217; for ship passage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this sets up the warring sides for further clashes in the Persian Gulf region, as absolutist demands continued to be adhered to, and red lines continue to be tested and blown past.
