US Energy Sec Wright: In last 24 hours, 72 ships and 20 million barrels have transited through the Straight of Hormuz

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Wednesday that the Islamabad memorandum of understanding with Washington turned into “a declaration of US defeat,”

WRIGHT STATES THAT RESUMPTION OF NORMAL OIL FLOWS WILL BE DELAYED DUE TO IRANIAN MINES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. WRIGHT SAYS IRAN WILL NOT HAVE ABILITY TO BLOCK STRAIT OF HORMUZ GOING FORWARD U.S. ENERGY SECRETARY WRIGHT ANTICIPATES RAISING VENEZUELA'S OIL EXPORTS TO 2 MILLION BARRELS PER DAY UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION.

Iran has informed the U.S. that, despite troublemaking Fake News reporting to the contrary, there are “NO TOLLS, NO INSURANCE COSTS, & NO OTHER CHARGES OF ANY KIND BEING SOUGHT OR RECEIVED BY IRAN ON SHIPS TRAVELING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. If this is false information, negotiations would end, immediately! Additionally, no money has been given to Iran, or released from their money to them, by the U.S. We will be releasing some of their money, that is totally controlled by us, to our Farmers and Ranchers, for the purchase of Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, and more. Food is desperately needed in Iran, and we will be purchasing it for them exclusively from the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
