Iran demands $1 per barrel of oil passing through Strait of Hormuz, paid in crypto​

Iran reportedly intends to require ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz to pay the cryptocurrency equivalent of $1 per barrel of oil on board during the two-week ceasefire with the U.S.

Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union, which works with Iran’s government, told the Financial Times about the requirement on Wednesday.

He said that it will cost $1 per barrel of oil and that ships need to email Iranian authorities about what they are carrying.

“Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in bitcoin, ensuring they can’t be traced or confiscated due to sanctions,” Hosseini told the newspaper.

He added that the measures are being put in place to make sure that weapons are not carried through the strait.

A two week cease fire makes them think they've won something.

This gets more fun by the day!

This in itself is sufficient reason to take down the ayatollahs.

AI Overview

Yes, the Strait of Hormuz is considered an international waterway, though it lies within the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. Under international law (UNCLOS), it is a designated "international strait," granting all ships and aircraft the right of transit passage, which cannot be legally impeded. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Key Legal and Geographic Details:

• Legal Status: It is governed by international maritime law, allowing for free passage, rather than falling under the exclusive control of either adjacent nation.
• Territorial Waters: At its narrowest point (about 33 km), the shipping lanes fall within the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters of Iran and Oman.
  • Right of Passage: Even in times of conflict, the right of "transit passage" applies, meaning vessels have the right to travel through, as long as it is continuous and expeditious.
  • Disputes: Despite its status as an international waterway, Iran sometimes asserts control over the strait, leading to tensions regarding navigation freedom. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

If Iran's regime was changed to a secular Democratic country with free elections, I would have no problem with a 1% surcharge to rebuild what we damaged.

That would be mighty white of us, so to speak.

Well you have to wait until it comes out of the the Coma.

Reports indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iran's new Supreme Leader, is in a coma and receiving treatment for severe injuries in the holy city of Qom. According to diplomatic memos based on US and Israeli intelligence, the 56-year-old leader is unconscious, suffering from a ruptured liver or stomach, and has lost at least one leg, leaving him incapacitated and unable to make decisions.

And you guys complained about the deal Obama signed that actually did stop Iran from getting a nuke. Our current orange blob agreed to a deal.

They get to keep their uranium (the hilarious reason we gave for bombing them in the first place)
and control of the Strait of Hormuz

What did we get.

300+ injured Americans
Dead Soldiers
Gas over $4 a gallon
Even more isolation
