🚢Claims about Hormuz reopening are exactly why we built this: If ships start moving through the Strait with AIS transponders on, you’ll see it in the index — updated every 30 minutes alongside Suez, Bab al-Mandeb and Panama.

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to permanently hand over the Strait of Hormuz to Iran under their full sovereign authority, with Iran collecting tolls called "service fees" from all commercial ships after a 60-day waiver period. The opening is planned for Friday, after the signing, per Fars. With pre-war Hormuz traffic at 30,000 vessels and 7.6 billion barrels of oil per year, this could generate $10 billion in annual revenue for Iran, and comes on top of the $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly sent to Iran. This also directly contradicts Trump's claim of a "toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz" under no fees.

Now that the day is at an end - there are a few Chinese refiners on the hunt for big volumes of Middle East heavy sours. First time in a while

Donald Trump, the man who always slandered Obama and the deal he made, has made a WORSE deal. I can't believe what I'm seeing.

>be Trump >Start war with Iran >Lose >Give Iran $24 billion and complete control of the Strait >drop all sanctions >Declare victory How does he keep getting away with this

Looool my god, we gave Iran everything on a silver platter so he could “announce” a “peace deal” on his birthday. Truly a low point in American geopolitics.

Trump posted this already: [I] authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Does this mean he dropped the blockade immediately w/o an agmt? They said they won’t open the SoH until after Friday. If true, that’s an important dynamic.

The unity of the fronts has created a security chain to defend the region. Lebanon is our breath of life, and the crossing of the Islamic Republic’s red lines will not be tolerated.”

BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's offer for money and economic benefits in exchange for not responding to Israel's strike on Beirut, saying an attack on Israel is imminent, per Channel 12. Trump separately claimed that "no money will exchange hands" in any Iran deal, directly contradicting the bribery offer Iran just rejected.

New Israeli Warning to Evacuate 16 Towns in Southern Lebanon

NEW: With Iran rejecting Trump‘s claim that it has agreed to surrender its enrichment uranium, the IRGC has now completely closed off all access to its entire stockpile of near bomb-grade uranium, deliberately collapsing tunnels and installing hundreds of explosive mines at the entrances of Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow, per CNN. Iran is preparing for the scenario where no deal is signed and the US moves to seize the material by force. Currently Trump falsely claims there is an agreement, while the IRGC is actively mining the entrances that he claims will be used in his “peaceful” retrieval scenario. Iran is continuing the fortification and mining with large controlled explosions conducted today at Isfahan, per Tasnim.

Hardline Iranians have begun protesting against Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf throughout the day over the emerging US‑Iran deal. Protestors are chanting “Death to Araghchi, the dishonorable compromiser.” “Araghchi, have shame; leave America alone (stop giving in).” “Ghalibaf, Araghchi, Resign, Resign!”
