  • US, Iran Stall on Hormuz Reopening as Oil Supplies Tighten

    From finance.yahoo.com

    Iran said transit through the critical Strait of Hormuz will flow once the conflict with the US and Israel is over, but the sides are no closer to resolving their differences or finding a path to achieve it. President Donald Trump returned from a two-day summit with Iran’s close ally, China’s Xi Jinping, where both agreed the strait should be open but made no apparent progress toward that goal. Iran has shown little interest in loosening its hold on the waterway, insisting it wants to maintain a degree of control even after the end of the war.

murika keep reshuffling the same demands, nothing changed since pre-war so called negotiations.
- Iran keeps rejecting these demands, while murika pretend to make agreements, which it breaks (Lebanon ceasefire & 10 point Iran starting point) and offer concessions on previously agreed and broken agreements - the difference though, is Iran dont have to fire a singe shot, it can just shut off Hormuz and allow selective passage to ease pressure on certain countries using strategy, while keeping the situation tense and energy prices high.

btw, during the weekend, robert keagen, victoria nuland's husband, the architect behind the "project for the new murikan century" admitted defeat in the war and called the whole epstein fury operation a failure due to Iran's control of the strait and argued that there is nothing anyone can do to undo those achievements - this is the most hawkish yiddish policy terrorist in the world, on par with the midget kissinger and bolton that have destroyed murikan and western economy to benefit his fake, illegitimate genocidal colony in occupied Palestine.

It seems like the market is reacting to this dead-lock in talks and closed Hormuz the same way as a hot war, DXY climbing hyperbolic, oil above 100$ mark and affected countries currencies (Euro, GBP) are nose diving.

Oh, you concubine, we are in Iran. The economy has completely collapsed. Inflation has no more rate. All the Romans who have passed the knife's edge are now in trouble.

This is not right for Iran. They can continue normal talks even by opening the Strait of Hormuz.

JUST IN Iran agreed to launch first ‘Safe Passage’ programs for all foreign ships included US and Israel to pay Toll and get passage through the Strait or Hormuz.

Iran will accept $RMB, $BTC and newly-made Iranian TOMAN ($IRT) currency.
